Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Erin Sawley, I didn't have time to tell you this earlier, but I wish you all the best; we are with you.
Ms. Diane Sawley, since things don't seem to have been completely resolved in your case either, I wish you the same.
You mentioned that, whenever a decision has to be made or a minor issue arises, officials at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency don't seem to have any autonomy. That's what we see in most departments. Public servants have no leeway and have to stay in their little boxes. Beyond that, they have to get the approval of their superiors. It can take two or three weeks, even a month, to get an answer.
Did I understand you correctly?
