Mr. Speaker, why are we leaving it to the Americans to tell us what is wrong at the plant? The fact is that the only documentation we are getting on the XL Foods operation is from the Americans, and it paints a very bleak picture.
Canadians are concerned about the integrity of the food safety system and they are concerned about the health and safety of their families. However, the minister dismisses these concerns and ignores safety failures. When will he start telling the truth about what is going on at the XL Foods plant?
