Mr. Speaker, I guess better safe than sorry is always the best course of action, considering E. coli is not a bacteria that one wants to be messing with. It killed seven people in Walkerton and made sick another 2,500 people in Walkerton. It is not something you take lightly. Again, airing on the side of caution is a good thing.

In a news story that just recently got published on the CBC News site, that Yellowknife Direct Charge

Co-op says that, on this free range beef, they will take it back and people can get a refund of the product. But if the public health or chief medical officer in the Northwest Territories is suggesting that there could be some cross-contamination of all beef products from the Yellowknife Co-op between those dates, how is the retailer going to be giving refunds as the Minister had discussions with the retailer about giving refunds to consumers that have bought this product over that period of time, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.
