Growing demand to fire Agriculture Minister
The federal government's own scientists and food experts jumped into the fray and added their voice yesterday to the calls for the resignation of Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “Minister Ritz has repeatedly disappointed the professional scientists and inspectors who work for him during the listeria crisis,” said Michele Demers, President of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada. “The comments he apologized for yesterday are the last straw. Crisis requires real leadership and Mr. Ritz is clearly not fit to lead.”
