Mr. Speaker, it is not just one plant Canadians are worried about, it is all of them.
There are not even clear standards for when meat should be discarded if the risk of contamination is too high. No standards. The CFIA's director of meat inspection said yesterday, “we essentially asked people to keep [an] eye and look at it. But there wasn’t a lot of structure about how people went at that”.
Is this the kind of self-regulation that the Conservatives think will actually protect Canadians or are we just waiting for the next disaster?
