Thank you.
Diane, you mentioned in your testimony that it was inequitable for producers to bear the full financial consequences and that the CFIA needs to do things differently.
We had officials of the CFIA here as part of this study a couple of weeks ago. The current government had it in their election platform and as a mandate that the CFIA adjust its own mandate to include food security and the economic impact on its decision-making. The CFIA officials said they do not need to change anything.
Does it raise some concerns with you, considering the experience you've had with the CFIA, that despite some government pressure, they are still not relenting on or willing to change the way they do things?
