Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. Mather:

The purpose of this bill is to amend the Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs Act to provide, so far as parliament may do so, that manufacturers

and marketers be required to indicate the life expectancy of their products. Many manufacturers now have a good idea how long a toaster or a light bulb will last, for example. If this bill is approved the consumer will also have that knowledge.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.

Mr. Lee Grills (Hastings South):

Mr. Speaker, I intended directing my question to the Minister of Agriculture or his parliamentary assistant. In their absence I shall direct it to the Minister of Forestry and Rural Development. I am sure the minister is aware of the implications of the sale of artificial dairy products in Canada. Can he advise the house whether his department has any plan at this time to safeguard the interests of the Canadian dairy industry?
