Okay.

Paul, domestic market access includes food safety. If people are going to buy, they want to know their food is safe. During the break, just before we came back, we heard of 224 cuts at CFIA—224 people. I've forgotten the amount; it's over $20 million.

I'm wondering if you can tell me the impact that's going to have on food safety. Do you know how many inspectors we're going to lose?
