Can we afford any more time with a Conservative government?
I have been away and come back in dismay to see the Minister of Agriculture defend the processing industries right to self inspect in the face of the Listeria outbreak at Maple Leaf Packing. The Canadian public’s health is at risk by this Conservative Government and we drive up our public health care costs solving the results of a very bad policy shift. Inspectors should be under Health Canada not the Department of Agriculture and fully independent of the company they are inspecting.
