"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3165936\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, none of that is true. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency continues to do assessments on this, but its first priority must remain food safety. Container size of course has nothing to do with food safety.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3165937\" data-originallang=\"en\">We as a government continue to discuss these issues with the food industry. I had great meetings last week with my colleagues from southwestern Ontario and Leamington, as we continue to work on this dialogue and work with the industry to ensure they have continued success in the food packaging industry here in Canada.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3165936\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, c'est compl\u00e8tement faux. L'Agence canadienne d'inspection des aliments poursuit ses \u00e9valuations \u00e0 ce sujet. La salubrit\u00e9 des aliments doit toutefois demeurer prioritaire. De toute \u00e9vidence, la taille des contenants n'a rien \u00e0 voir avec la salubrit\u00e9 des aliments. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3165937\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement continue de discuter de ces questions avec l'industrie alimentaire. La semaine derni\u00e8re, j'ai eu des r\u00e9unions fructueuses avec mes coll\u00e8gues du Sud-Ouest de l'Ontario et de Leamington. Nous poursuivrons ce dialogue et nous continuerons de collaborer avec l'industrie canadienne de l'emballage alimentaire, afin qu'elle continue de prosp\u00e9rer.</p>"
