I certainly think it would be in the public interest for the people around this table to have access to this document in order to have an enlightened discussion and give direction to the Government of Canada.
I just want to qualify some of what you said, Mr. Dewar, in that I don't know that any of the changes that are in the document have been implemented already. Changes have been occurring over the years at CFIA in modifying the way they do their business, and we've been alerted to those changes time after time by veterinarians and by other scientists. These particular changes that were in this document that I read I don't believe have been implemented yet, which is why they are so secretive about it. I find it difficult that a government that is so vocal on accountability, openness, and transparency would not want to have this document made public and people understand the implications and the ramifications of it.
We don't have to go back very far in looking at experiences of governments that have delegated to industry some oversight roles. You only have to look back at Walkerton and see what happened there. We don't want that for Canadians. Nobody wants that. Canadians don't want that. You don't want that as politicians. I'm sure the CFIA doesn't want that, and I wouldn't put the blame on CFIA. They are being tasked and told to find efficiencies and to do business otherwise. That's what they're recommending and the government is approving.
