Then you'll come back with the numbers. The information is on the CFIA's website, yes? I've found information saying that we had more workers before the 2008 listeria outbreak, where we lost, sadly, 22 people, and the forecast for 2016 shows a few less site inspectors.

We were together when we studied Bill S-11, the Safe Food for Canadians Act. Mr. Shipley and I were the last two remaining on the committee. One recommendation from the Sheila Weatherill report was that we would have a third party audit of CFIA. Was that done?
