Mr. Speaker, job losses and food safety are serious and important issues, but the government is ignoring the facts. The facts are that food inspection stations are being shut down and front-line food inspectors are being cut. The facts do not lie.
The Conservatives are cutting front line services and this will cost farmers more and increase the risk to Canadians' health.
Will the minister stand up and admit that his government is firing food inspectors and closing inspection stations?
