Subhead:Order Paper records show CFIA, RCMP, and Justice Department costs far exceed earlier disclosures after MP Scott Anderson demanded a full account.#
Newly released federal records show that more than $6.7 million in taxpayer dollars were spent by multiple government agencies to carry out and enforce the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s controversial slaughter at Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, B.C. More than 300 ostriches involved in antibody research for viral therapeutics were slaughtered in November.
The Liberals were obligated to make the disclosure after Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee Conservative MP Scott Anderson obtained the information through a formal Order Paper Question, demanding the Liberals account for every dollar spent by the CFIA, the Department of Justice, and the RCMP.
MP Scott Anderson just made the Liberals admit they waisted 6.7 million dollars on killing healthy ostriches in BC.
