House Hansard - 56

44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Context: House Hansard - 56 - Apr/8/22
Mr. Michael Barrett (Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, CPC)
  • Apr/8/22 12:04:33 p.m.
  • Watch
Mr. Speaker, the prison farm in Joyceville, Ontario, is also the home to a provincially inspected abattoir that serves eastern Ontario farmers. There has been a surge in buying local meat, and farmers have stepped up to meet that demand. The facility operator will be retiring. If we lose the abattoir there, there will be tremendous strain placed on processing capacity in eastern Ontario. Will the Minister of Public Safety offer that licence to another operator, or will the abattoir be closed?
