Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses.

I'll ask you to keep your answers short, as I have limited time.

Mr. Lee, you mentioned the lack of process to address concerns with decisions from CFIA inspectors. Were you aware that there was a redress officer under the Harper government and that the office was closed shortly after 2015?

See context to find out what was said next.
