(video link) N. Simons: Also today…. They were unable to join us in the House because they aren’t allowed cows or goats in here, but there are folks representing the raw milk supporters, and I think that it’s important for us to recognize that their issue is important. Would the House please welcome them at least to the precinct.

(video link) J. Kwan: I, too, rise to table a petition. I have a petition here that has 1,161 names in the format of letters, e-mails and petition. They’re calling for the legalization of raw milk. They are people who very much believe that they have the right to choose what food they consume. So to that end, they are asking for the right to have what’s called herd-share or cow-share operations in B.C. so that people who want to drink raw milk would be able to access it without doing something that is illegal.
