Join Martin Stringer and his journalist guests: Louise Elliott, Parliamentary Reporter with CBC Radio, and Mark Kennedy, Parliamentary Bureau Chief for Postmedia News. They'll discuss:
Tainted Beef:
The recall is cross-Canada in scope. More than 1500 products are involved. Canadians are asking questions about the safety of Canada's food inspection system. The NDP opposition is now calling for Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz's resignation.
- How has this whole issue played out, politically?
Justin's In:
Montreal MP Justin Trudeau this week launched his bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada.
- What does this mean for the Liberal Party? For other potential Liberal leadership contenders?
- How much impact will his candidacy have on the Canadian political scene?
Also, Martin discusses the largest beef recall in Canadian history with Bob Kingston, President of the Agriculture Union, part of the Public Service Alliance of Canada. With 25-years of experience as a meat inspector, he gives his impressions on what went wrong, the challenges facing Canada's food inspection system, and the government's handling of the situation.
Also Martin speaks with 3 MPs about the week's events in Federal politics.
