Mr. Speaker, surely the government wants to protect Canadians by preventing these dangerous materials from falling into the wrong hands. Industry has been asking for years for the government to join it and share the cost presented by this very real security issue, yet it cannot get a meeting with the minister.
Literally tonnes of explosive chemicals, poisonous gases, and meth-producing chemicals sit unprotected without so much as a fence to prevent criminal elements from seizing them.
When will the government stop paying lip service to public safety and take action to protect Canadians?
