Thank you very much for taking the time to be here.
I'm just going to ask some questions, and hopefully we'll have enough time for the answers.
I'm still not clear. We have three organizations, three departments, represented here. I'd like a very quick answer as to what the different roles are, because I'm still not quite sure where the department, the CFIA, and the Competition Bureau fit in when we're dealing with this. So I'd like that clarification.
Secondly, if you had a wish list, would a staffing increase be one of the items you would wish for? If so, by how much, percentage-wise? The implication is whether you feel that you have enough staff to do the job that's required. And just to follow up on what Brian said, do we have enough inspectors?
One reason I'm asking that—and you've been following the transcripts—is that the other day we had an almost black-and-white difference between how FDA reacted and how CFIA reacted in regard to time in dealing with labels. It seemed that the gentleman who appeared before us was able to get a very quick response from the Americans with their computers, whereas in Canada it took letters, there had to be a hard copy, and so on.
So do we have enough people? If so, is the system as efficient as it could be? Obviously that has implications on how we function.
Lastly, do you have a timeline or directive to act? We're going to be hammering out the report next week. We will be recommending it, obviously, as we do, to the minister. Is this something that's going to be taken and looked at, and what's your timeline to start implementing something?
I think we have time for answers to those questions.
