Maple Leaf: Recall Our Government Instead

By liam

This is a delicate issue.  And a challenging topic.  Because of the legalities involved, I don’t want to do or say anything more than just ask some questions about what has happened with this outbreak of disease.

More than a dozen deaths are linked to Maple Leaf Foods, most of which have been recalled.  I personally can’t shop anymore without questioning the value of all of the meats that are on display, be they packaged or processed.

For the benefit of the people that follow this blog, a full list of the products on recall has been provided below.

As a consumer, I think we’re entitled to ask some questions.

Let’s start with this article by the CBC:

Federal inspectors are spending less time on the factory floor and relying more on food producers to monitor themselves, the head of the union for federal food safety inspectors said Wednesday.

Since March 31, food producers have been conducting their own tests for bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes , and writing their own food safety reports, Bob Kingston, president of the Agriculture Union of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, told the CBC’s Susan Bonner.

Canadian Food Inspection Agency inspectors have since had to deal with significantly more paperwork, which reduces their awareness of the everyday goings-on at meat-packing and processing facilities, said Kingston, formerly an inspector with the CFIA.

"The biggest concern from the [CFIA] inspection staff is simply the amount of time now they spend looking at reports and generating reports," said Kingston.

"And all of that means time off of the production floor."

Not enough attention was given to how the transition to the new procedures would affect the food inspection process, said Kingston.

"Basically there is a transition period where you know that things are going to be a little touch and go, and there probably should have been more resources put into the program, at least until there had been enough time to see how it worked."

A spokesman for the CFIA based in Ottawa wouldn’t provide comment, but the agency has a news conference planned for later Wednesday.

People are suggesting that there are flaws in the structure of the meat inspection process and that changes are needed.  However, we know what the true flaw is:  deregulation.

It’s hard not to get emotional about these things when you read them.

Why is it that our federal government is blaming the process when it was working fine before they came along?

Why is it that deregulation and a different process allowed the outbreak to occur?

Why is our government continuing to blame previous governments?

I think these are the questions we all have to focus on.

Here’s more from this article:

A secret cabinet document leaked last month suggested the federal Conservatives want to hand over more inspection duties to industry as a part of future reforms.

The Tories, who haven’t yet legislated any changes in food inspection policy, have not confirmed what their plans for reform would be.

They also haven’t indicated that any changes have been made, besides hiring 200 new federal inspectors since their government took power in January 2006.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper told reporters Tuesday the food rules were in need of a "reform and revamp" after "some years of neglect."

Critics have increasingly voiced their concerns federal Conservatives’ plans for food inspection reform.

Ontario Health Minister David Caplan said Tuesday he is concerned by the Tories’ plan to shift more responsibility for food inspection to producers.

Last week, Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion and Liberal agriculture critic Wayne Easter criticized the Tories for the possible changes, with Easter accusing the Tories of downloading responsibility for food inspection onto industry as a "cost-saving measure."

All we can really do in a situation is look to the past.  In the past, a number of Ministers that are currently running things on the federal level were Ministers at the Ontario Provincial level.  These people were in charge when we had issues arise like Walkerton, where people died.

What is the correlation here?  What is the trend?  Should we expect more health and safety issues as testing and reporting for other consumer goods and durable products are passed off to the industry?

Doesn’t this raise alarms?

Aren’t you concerned for the health of your family?

Aren’t you concerned for the rights of Canadian Food Inspection Agency employees that aren’t able to do the jobs they were hired to do?

Aren’t you concerned that we’ll vote again for people that think this is OK?

Of course, it’s not all questions.

There are solutions to the problem.

We need to eliminate the virtual monopoly that companies have on our distribution systems, be it for oil, food or other goods and services.  "Local" is certainly one answer, but we need to harness the energy of local and truly understand how a local strategy will benefit all of us.

Buying directly from small producers that go to federally-run abattoirs would be a nice fantasy, but we should demand something that’s at least modestly similar to this scenario.

This would ensure small producers maximize what they earn on their efforts, consumers get the freshest product/produce and delivery systems, like large-scale trucking and hauling are minimized.

The other solution is to not buy meat.  This is a challenge for me because I’m not a vegetarian, but you can certainly reduce the volume of processed meats.  It’ll be better for your health, because sulphides and other preservatives are not good for your system.

When the debate on this heats up, try to remember this:  when people talk of privatization and deregulation, think of economic Hindenbergs like Enron .

Last thought:  what would it take to get a recall of our current government?  Sorry.  I couldn’t resist.
