Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to talk a little bit about some of the specifics of the environmental testing and then missed opportunities. I've taken a quick look at the “Lessons Learned” reports, and I just want to talk a little bit about those. It appears to me CFIA did its job according to the protocols and the information it had at the time.
Mr. Evans, last summer you said, “Now, in hindsight, we do recognize that environmental testing is a critical component of food safety.” I want to ask either you or Ms. Swan this. In 2005, under the previous government, mandatory environmental testing was removed. Is that correct?
