As has been indicated, obviously, in terms of the strategic review process, honourable member, CFIA undertook to prepare a memorandum to cabinet that outlined where we felt there were opportunities for us to make investments that would be part of a transformative process to modernize inspection activities. We were pleased that the submission, as it was reviewed, determined that any allocations from within adjustments to our programming would in fact be reinvested in CFIA and not allocated to other government priorities. We were pleased that the formative process that we went through identified that investment in food safety was an appropriate priority for the government to invest in.
