What is very troubling about this is that worldwide the death rate has fallen by 45%—that is, globally since 1990—and that in Canada it is on the rise. So please look into this. It would be great if you could get back to us on this issue.
My next question is about food safety. We have heard conflicting numbers on the resources allocated to food safety inspection in this country.

Can you tell us clearly the number of staff at CFIA in 2011?
