Thank you, Gerry.
It is frustrating, however, that you claim, in your presentation to us today, that it's irresponsible to call a $30-million reduction in food safety a cut. Yet it is clear that you've not only lowballed the resources needed for CFIA but have also not outlined what programs are in place to accommodate for food safety—not until, as you said, we see the supplementary (A)s.
Now, you mentioned the new food safety act, but an act alone doesn't assure food safety. Shouldn't taxpayers know what programs are in place and be aware of the resources available to them?
