That is where they buy a product which is not encoded with a best before date and subsequently find on opening the package that it has gone bad or its quality deteriorates very, very rapidly. Really this is a piece of consumer protection legislation to allow the consumer to have the best information available so that they can make wise choices. It is one of these things we can do that helps make the industry a little more honest as well. Many times people will dump products they have been unable to sell. They will pull them off the shelf in one part of the country and dump them in another market at a reduced price.
People have absolutely no idea of how long ago the product was packaged.
I know the member for Halifax has raised this with me on a number of occasions. I believe some of her constituents have come to her with these complaints. I am pleased to see she is here in the House tonight to support this particular motion. I also want to point out that the consumer many times more than legislation or regulation dictates what the standards are in the industry. That's a commercial announcement.
