Mr. Da Pont, with the greatest respect, sir, this latest XL report that this government asked to have done says the inspectors you had at XL—the single-largest beef processor in this country—weren't trained. They weren't trained, sir. You said to Sheila Weatherill that you'd make sure they get trained. That was your first and foremost priority. You intended to make sure that every inspector was compliant with CVS.
Here you are, four years later—not four months, but four years—after you've come to committee on numerous occasions and said it was done, not “being done”, but done, and you have a scathing report that says you had inspectors in the largest meat processing plant in this country who were untrained. How can that be?
