I believe the report was intended to portray the reality that we have made previous attempts to modernize some of the legislative tools. We have authorities in certain areas, for example fish, that we do not have in fruits and vegetables. That's the nature of the acts and regulations we inherited.
Part of our effort is to ensure that we have the appropriate suite of tools that would allow us to effectively manage risk across all the commodities in an equitable and fair way. That goes back to our statement of wanting to have an equitable and fair regulatory regime that does not impose an undue burden, but backstops the ability of the program to achieve its safety outcomes for Canadians and in animal health and plant health.
Where we say we have insufficient authorities, that's a reflection that we have non-uniform authorities. We can take certain actions to detain or prosecute under certain legislation, but we can't do it under other legislation. So we're trying to be consistent in how we deal with risk, and risk across these commodities requires that we have a uniform set of tools to do that.
Our efforts will continue to focus on working with the committee and other departments and agencies around town to try to ensure that regulatory reforms achieve those outcomes.
