Markets are indeed very integrated, but I really do not think we need to adopt a labelling system for the North American market at his point in time, especially given the current situation. I really don't.
I would just like to mention too that as we heard in terms of monitoring—and this is an important part, if you're going to have something that's mandatory—one of the things I'm concerned about is that CFIA just published its annual report on priorities and plans covering the fiscal year 2008-09, which is on the Treasury Board website, and over the next three years, through to 2011, planned spending at CFIA is expected to be cut by $53.9 million, or just under 9%. Of this, food safety expenditures will represent cuts of just under $10 million in 2008-09, increasing to under $15 million for 2010-11, and human resources will drop by some 187 full-time equivalents over the coming three years.
I have a concern about that, particularly in the light of our talking about things that need to be done in monitoring. You've heard witnesses previously talking about a need for greater engagement by the Canada Border Services Agency where there are gaps and so forth.
I would just like to flag that as a concern.
