Mr. Speaker, Cloverdale's Maurizio Zinetti runs a Canadian-owned company that is doing everything right: feeding families, employing Canadians and doing whatever he can to keep affordable food on our tables. However, thanks to the Liberals' new front-of-package labelling rules, regulations that have nothing to do with food safety, he is now facing a $2.2-million compliance bill.
Across the industry, the cost will top $100 million. Prices are going to rise and contracts are being cancelled, all because of red tape politics.
Will the Prime Minister stop trying to engineer a costly election on a costly budget and instead scrap the costly labelling tax?
