All I can really do, Madam Chair, is repeat what the department told us. If the committee is interested, I think that would be a question the department itself should elaborate on. What they indicated to us was that they focus their efforts on the areas of highest risk. So obviously they believe they are covering the greatest risks.
You will note in the report that we had interviews with program managers who are concerned about the lack of funding, though, as I said, I presume every program manager will tell you they need more money. It is a little troubling I think in the regulatory programs.
We would have expected Health Canada to have clearly articulated what level of activity was required for each one of the regulatory programs and that the resources would be determined based on that. They do not have that information, though they indicated to us they will begin to do that in their operational plans for the next year.
