Mr. Speaker, frankly, this crisis is a complete fiasco.
There are many problems. Broken sprinklers, improper cleaning and an inadequate monitoring system allowed thousands of pounds of beef to become contaminated. This went on for weeks, and the proper authorities, the minister included, did nothing.
As a result, tainted meat ended up on the tables in thousands of Canadian households.
The minister does not want to take responsibility. Why not replace him with someone who will?
