Or train them to be a CFIA. You know, I'm a businessman. When you have a food safety issue, let's say the Maple Leaf listeria problem, my business dropped to 10%. In Ontario it was even more. You've got to spend it at one end or the other. If we do have safety issues in this country, how much is it worth for the country when other countries stop trade? On the mad cow, when they stopped beef going across the border, it was $4 billion. I'm sure we can train inspectors and get them on board. I have no problem with interprovincial trade. I think that's a good thing. For a small business today, an entry level in the federal system is very, very costly. I know; I've experienced it. But the regulatory has to be from one body, and then with further training the provincial inspectors can be brought up to speed, to that level. It has to be regulated by Health Canada.
