Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for the question.
Indeed, the audit of the imported food program is an important part of our continuous look at how we do our business in order to improve. That audit covered April 2005 to March 2008, so it did not take into account the $223 million in funding for the food and consumer safety action plan, which focuses, of course, on risks related to imported food. That funding was announced in budget 2008. With that funding, we have indeed implemented a number of measures that respond to issues identified in the audit, and beyond, of course.
In 2009 and 2010, the CFIA, in collaboration with CBSA, conducted 62 border blitzes. We've established import surveillance teams, and these teams are conducting targeted verifications. In terms of imported foods, we've increased our testing on high-risk foods that are imported into Canada. Also, we carry out targeted surveys in multiple commodities--for example, in the context of dairy or soy products in relation to melamine. You will recall the problem a few years ago of melamine contamination of dairy products from China. So across the spectrum of our oversight of imported foods, we've used that investment to enhance our coverage.
So absolutely, the audit forms an important part of our continuous improvement, and we've responded to its findings by improving our controls in terms of imported foods.
