One of those amendments consisted in creating a workplace where workers feel safe and able to report any potential breaches where working conditions are difficult and where 4,000 animals might be slaughtered in one day. That is a lot.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3080180\" data-originallang=\"fr\">How does she explain that the government rejected an amendment that would have created conditions conducive to the protection and safety of food?</p>",

L'un de ces amendements consistait \u00e0 cr\u00e9er un lieu de travail o\u00f9 les travailleurs se sentiraient en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et capables de rapporter des manquements possibles l\u00e0 o\u00f9 les conditions de travail sont difficiles et o\u00f9 4 000 b\u00eates peuvent \u00eatre abattues dans une journ\u00e9e. C'est \u00e9norme. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3080180\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Comment peut-elle expliquer que le gouvernement refuse justement un amendement qui aurait cr\u00e9\u00e9 des conditions favorables \u00e0 la protection et \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des aliments?</p>"
