First of all, I consume Maple Leaf products now and I always have. Secondly, the one thing I'd like to draw your attention to is that in Canada we allow exporters of meat to the U.S.A. to have notice in advance on whether their loads are going to be inspected or not, and I objected to this quite vigorously when I was with CFIA. An exporter to the U.S. knows 72 hours.... I remember doing an import inspection on a load of turkey breasts. I looked at the certificate. It was dated a day after the kill date, so the turkeys were still walking around when the load was certified for export.
At the same time, you have offshore meat shipments, and the exporter knows 30 days in advance whether his shipment is going to be inspected. In the U.S., you don't know until the load hits the border and it goes to the I-house. That's when they get their assignment. That's when it's determined whether they're going to be inspected or not.
