Mr. Speaker, the record of the Canadian food inspection system is one of which we can all be very proud.

Any food products that came in from the United States which contained the StarLink corn were taken off the market. Other tests have been conducted, and to date no positive tests have shown that the StarLink is there. If so, they will be dealt with accordingly and taken off the market.
