Mr. Chair, if I may, the CFIA is subject to regular audits that are both internal to the government and also external. The agency is audited as a matter of course by international partners—various programs at various times. In addition to that, we have our own internal audit functions within the agency. We are also, like other agencies of government, subject to oversight by the Auditor General who chooses to audit agency operations from time to time. Those are, in the main, financial audits.
