Marjorie Michel, Minister of Health
“Our main job is to keep Canadians healthy and safe. We can do that while also working with farmers to grow our economy and produce our own food.”
“Mr. Speaker, as I said yesterday, the priority of the Canadian government and the Department of Health is to protect the health and safety of Canadians. However, I repeat, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. We are also dealing with the agricultural sector, with which we are working closely. That said, we will always take steps to protect the health of Canadians as we develop our economy and food sovereignty.”
