Thank you very much.
The Weatherill report did recommend that CFIA retain third party experts to conduct a review. In order to ensure that there was an independent and comprehensive review, we did indeed collaborate with our colleagues in Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. In fact, it was Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada that then coordinated complementary initiatives that reviewed design implementation and resourcing of CVS.
AAFC engaged an independent auditor to review the calculations of the resources required, and those studies confirmed that the resource requirement was indeed appropriately calculated. That third party review provides the complementation of the calculation that gives us the assurance that the information is appropriate and correct and, taken together, represents the comprehensive analysis that our understanding of the Weatherill recommendation requires.
