Good afternoon, Minister. You've been talking about 260 inspectors for some time now. I'd like you to table with the committee a list of the new inspectors you have hired because, according to the unions, there aren't that many, whereas you say there are a lot.
This is important for product traceability in Quebec. We know where beef goes. What is hard to determine is the origin of meat that comes from outside Quebec and Canada, from New Zealand or the United States, for example.
Do they have the same inspectors? Do they have the same standards for their animals as those in effect in Quebec and Canada?
It would be important to know whether inspectors in the United States or other countries from which we receive meat are as good as those in Canada, because once products from New Zealand and Quebec are mixed together, that becomes an issue. So I would like to have a list of those inspectors.
