In general, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is placing great emphasis on those core mandates, and that is where it is investing its efforts. In all of the measures we've seen, we are redirecting our resources and redoubling the efforts in our core mandate. In this area, we find that the non-health-related areas are a lower priority. The higher priority are the plant-health-related and of course the food-safety-related mandates of the agency.
