I would like to clarify something for the public who is following the work of the Committee but who is not necessarily familiar with the agriculture file. One must be careful: when we talk about inspection fees, there is no intention here of eliminating inspections. We know that the whole food safety issue is tremendously important. We know what happened. There is a difference between eliminating inspection fees and eliminating the inspections themselves.
