Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Crowfoot for his hard work on food safety for Canadians.
Our government is committed to strengthening food safety for Canadian families and the safe food for Canadians act would create a more consistent inspection regime and would implement tougher penalties for those who would risk food safety. Bob Kingston, the president of the union representing food inspectors, says that the government is “taking the best of each piece and putting it under one roof”.
I ask that the opposition to put politics aside and join with our government and with consumers in supporting safe food for Canadians.
