Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for her speech and her work as deputy agriculture and agri-food critic.
I was very glad to hear her talk about the amendments that were proposed and unfortunately rejected at the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food. One of those amendments consisted in creating a workplace where workers feel safe and able to report any potential breaches where working conditions are difficult and where 4,000 animals might be slaughtered in one day. That is a lot.
How does she explain that the government rejected an amendment that would have created conditions conducive to the protection and safety of food?
