The Conservative MP who represents the riding where a B.C. ostrich farm faces a cull order after avian flu was detected late last year says Canada’s ministers of agriculture and health should intervene.

Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee MP Scott Anderson said the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) should allow updated testing of the surviving flock in hopes of sparing the birds.
