Mr. Speaker, if the health and safety of Canadians is truly a priority for the government, we could not tell from the cuts being experienced by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Food safety is a life and death matter, yet a 15% cut in spending and a 14% cut in staffing will affect programs that focus on food safety and the front line.
After two major food safety crises, will the minister finally stop cutting the CFIA, or is he waiting for a third catastrophe to complete his major outbreak hat trick?
