Mr. Valeriote, first and foremost, your numbers are absolutely wrong. You're ridiculously high with your numbers. The Parliamentary Budget Officer just brought out the actual numbers this morning. We concur.
When you come to scientists and biologists from the Agriculture Canada side, it's some 38 people, most of them through attrition.
There is no gap. There is no lack. When you look at the plans and priorities documents of both Agriculture Canada and CFIA, you will see a bolstering of food safety, no cuts at all.
