Mr. Speaker, it is a failed policy. Yesterday's press release from the CFIA states, “To date, the company has not adequately implemented agreed upon corrective actions and has not presented acceptable plans to address longer-term issues”.
It is a clear indication that the Conservative policy of a self-policing industry has failed. It has put XL workers out of work, it has failed public safety and it has hurt the industry overall.
Pulling front-line CFIA inspectors was wrong. When will the Conservatives reverse this policy?
