But surely you agree, then, that the statements made by CFIA and the minister are not true, that 50% of the time is not spent by inspectors on the floor.
I'm going back to the question that I asked earlier of Mr. Kingston. I would like to see what your opinion is.
If we turn to the Toronto Public Health document, we can see a critique of the compliance verification system:
...concerns have been expressed by health authorities and others about the effectiveness of the federal Compliance Verification System and its self-monitoring features....These concerns suggest that there is too much reliance on information supplied by plant operators....it is reasonable to expect that direct inspection by trained staff of a public agency may provide greater assurance that standards are indeed being met in all food industry premises.
How do you see this from your angle?
