Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order regarding very blatant misinformation that was given during question period. I was so thunderstruck that I had to go back and check the blues.
The member for Newmarket—Aurora asked the minister a set-up question about the new policy for poultry inspection. The minister answered that this was a pilot project developed by the Liberals in 2004.
I have checked the evidence an that answer is false. The pilot inspection project is one of the projects that is being challenged by veterinarians with CFIA right now and it came into place in 2007.
I am raising a point of order today so that the minister has the opportunity to clear the record and this blatant misinformation is not allowed to stand.
