Thanks very much, Madam Chair.
Thanks very much to our presenters for being here. You're becoming very familiar faces around this table.
I see in the document that was handed out, “Progress on Food Safety As of March 31, 2010”, that the government is going through the response. They certainly are moving forward on the recommendations. From what we've heard this morning, there has been a great deal of progress made. It also says that the recommendations and the way forward are being put into three different categories: reducing food safety risks, enhancing surveillance, and improving emergency response.
As I glance through this and I see the different categories, I wonder if you could outline for us this morning how you're moving forward on those three categories and how you may be cooperating with Agriculture, which I think has been expressed as a bit of a red herring but a bit of a problem, too, because the issue does fall under two different departments. I think there is cooperation and collaboration, but maybe you could just point out the different ways you're doing that.
