Mr. Speaker, as the government, we understand the importance of bees in pollinating our crops and we are moving forward on that front. We have spent some $3 million on research and development projects to make our bee industry healthier here in Canada.
These are new allegations that have just come to light yesterday.
We are a good government. We react as quickly as possible. However, we do not do things overnight, just like that. We rely on sound science to make sure we are moving in the right direction. We spend our money appropriately, with taxpayers' funding. We can never, ever count on the NDP to backstop any of that spending.
