Again, I'm speaking from my experience at the local level, where we're regulating and inspecting food services in the city of Toronto. It certainly is a critical part of our role to have inspectors on-site for routine inspections, and in fact, from time to time, to do a more intensive inspection in which the food preparation process is followed step by step. I think the presence of independent inspectors is an important component of food safety.
