--and I mean no disrespect by this question as well, but I'm having trouble reconciling something you said in the House yesterday with something that I'm hearing today and something that we've heard from the industry. You've already alluded to the issue, which is the difference in times that food inspectors are present in plants where there is U.S.-bound meat versus the times they are present in plants where meat is domestically bound.
You said the inspection rates for domestic consumption and for international trade are exactly the same: they work on a 12-hour cycle. Now, Mr. Prince indicated that you're working towards making them equivalent. Unfortunately, Canadians are concerned that U.S.-bound meat, and the U.S. population, are receiving greater consideration than Canadians are.
Frankly, it's been quite some time since you've had the opportunity to respond to the Weatherill report, and that concerns us, especially with the recent scare of another outbreak, so when you talk about the total amount of time being equivalent to the presence required under the USDA, what does that mean? When will you have the full complement on the ground to meet the very same standards of a presence every shift, every 12 hours, that you will be meeting with USDA? We need to know the timing.
