Our aim in reviewing the frameworks is to provide greater flexibility so that industry can find solutions to the challenges they face without having to fit into a simplistically predictable and prescriptive model. When we look at existing frameworks, we recognize that industry has been innovative where they've had room to innovate. For example, in the aftermath of the listeria tragedy, industry was keenly interested in incorporating bactericidal interventions in the production system.
Our counterparts at Health Canada have been bringing interventions to the front of the line in order to get them into industry's hands and approve them more quickly. We want to encourage this type of flexibility in the control systems that industry employs in its facilities. We believe that this flexibility helps industry to improve food safety. We want our system to be able to accommodate that, to assess it, and to allow it to come into use more quickly.
