Mr. Speaker, what date? This is the second major food outbreak on the minister's watch, and nobody believes food safety is his foremost priority. The report's primary finding was that the E. coli outbreak was entirely preventable and that it was a lack of a strong food safety culture at the CFIA that directly led to the outbreak.
It is time for the minister to overcome his contempt for transparency. Does he finally have the decency to apologize to Canadians and immediately call for an independent, comprehensive audit of the CFIA's resources, which should have been done years ago?
