Within the processed meat world, it has definitely happened over the last several decades that they've gone from a full-time presence to one person having multiple plants to look after.
The document in which they talk about removing full-time presence and changing it to an oversight role is the document for which one of the employees at CFIA was fired last year. Those were actual comments in relation to slaughter inspections, such as the poultry plants I was talking about, and those were the plans for the future. Those plans were implemented in processed meat almost three decades ago. In slaughter, they were just in the works.
In fact, ironically, that's what got us involved in this debate. We were going to stay out of it until the minister started saying, “Gee, if only those plans had been implemented at Maple Leaf, maybe this wouldn't have happened and maybe the inspector wouldn't have missed what was going on there.” That's basically what prompted us to get involved, because the minister didn't seem to understand which part of the organization he was talking about.
