Mr. Speaker, no food is approved for sale in Canada unless it has gone through one of the most rigorous food inspection systems in the world. It takes a number of years before that process is completed. The best way to explain to everybody how successful and how good it is is to look at the track record. Canadians are fortunate to have the best food regulatory system in the world and the track record shows that.
