Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am perhaps going to please Wayne. Even though I am not going to be asking the same questions, I do in fact have questions for the representatives of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Earlier, we touched briefly on certain issues with the minister. With respect to the inspection of imported foods, you no doubt are aware of an audit report produced by Peter Everson, the chief audit executive for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. I will read you an excerpt of a newspaper article which alludes to this report:
[...] CFIA management of imported food safety has deficiencies that represent multiple areas of risk exposure requiring significant improvements related to the governance, control and risk management processes.
Has the agency not only considered this report but also implemented a process intended at ensuring stricter monitoring of imported food inspection?
