CFIA has a very close working relationship with Health Canada as well as with our Agriculture and Agri-Food portfolio partners.
When the Canadian Food Inspection Agency was created, there were roles identified for the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food as well as the Minister of Health that were consistent and that supported the health minister's role as the food safety standard setter for Canada and the agriculture minister's role on behalf of the agency in verifying that industry is meeting the standards identified by Health Canada. Because those roles are very clear, we do work very closely with Health Canada, both as they work to develop standards and as we look at ways to verify the effectiveness of industry in meeting the standards set by Health Canada.
So the working relationship is very strong.
