This is to Mr. Prince.
On public accounts--and we went through this with the Auditor General a couple of weeks ago--when I look at the comments about strict scientific inspection.... That is really your science-based programs; you emphasized that more than once. The report said that a little over 60% of the time you weren't doing the inspections that you should have been doing on product coming in, and yet when we look at this particular farm, it looks like it's been targeted. You took one sample that found a perceived--maybe, we aren't sure--nematode. You continually took thousands upon thousands and have not found any. It almost leaves the impression that you're trying to cover yourself--we've got to find something here.
What I'm wanting to know--and I'm going to follow up Mr. Storseth, because these are the answers the farmers need to know--is when you will release it. You say the “proposed guidelines”? So I don't know, Mr. Mayers, when that is, but I don't like the language: don't worry, we're gearing up. It doesn't give much confidence.
Secondly, the answer wasn't given on this issue. When this gets released, the farmers in Alberta and other places that have this, particularly since you've not found anything, need to have the support of CFIA in the announcement that there is not any, not only for their exports, but for their neighbours and their community.
I want an answer to both of those, if I could. What you will do in terms of the timing, and will you help them at the end?
