Mr. Speaker, that is incredible. We are talking about a real shortage of inspectors in Quebec.
Data gathered by federal unions show that on average, the abattoirs and processing plants where deli and prepared meats are produced in Montreal East, Saint-Hyacinthe and Quebec City have 10 fewer inspectors than required. More cuts to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency are anticipated in tomorrow's budget.
Why is food safety not a priority to this government?
