Absolutely, Mr. Chair, and of course, we will be hiring more and more as the need increases and we ask the CFIA to do more work. To date, under the current government, we have hired some 207 inspectors. That ups the number by about 14% to what it was originally.
My colleague, the president of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, assures me that the list has gone to the committee, to the best of her knowledge. We will double-check that.
We can give a regional breakdown, but we cannot give specifics as to where Joe Smith works, due to privacy situations. However, we can certainly give a breakdown as to what is available in Quebec.
It is a mobile workforce, as we see a need. For example, with regard to the listeriosis in cheese in Quebec, of course there is no one from the CFIA on those sites, but a number of people were sent in to help with that particular outbreak, doing lab tests, and so forth, back in the labs themselves, which are in other locations.
We will seek that list for the member.
