Apparently the HarperCon$ are going after public safety - and not in a good way. They are cutting CFIA's mandate with respect to food labelling and safety by having it outsourced to industry.
Frankly, I don't trust industry to audit itself worth a damn. Businesses just don't work that way. As someone with a potentially serious food allergy, and others I am very close to have similar allergy concerns, I believe that this move by the HarperCon$ has the potential to be quite deadly. Unreported "traces" of various allergens in food is all too common, and I generally am suspicious of a lot of food labels most of the time.
As with a great many other things that the HarperCon$ are up to, this has been done quietly, and places the legitimate interests of individual Canadians at risk, and without any discussion whatsoever. No doubt, so that they can find the monies needed to fund "Stevies Little War" in Afghanistan.

The CFIA is not the only government department to receive instructions to "let industry police itself". Equally scary is that the aircraft industry is supposed to "monitor its own planes". Seems that Transport Canada doesn't have enough personel to do the job.
