That's very interesting. In my riding, there are a number of inspectors who work in the public safety field and who conduct other types of inspections for the Canadian government. There's an obvious shortage of inspectors, but, in addition, as you said earlier, the succession is inadequate. In those conditions, if a lack of funding prevents the hiring of new inspectors, there will be a defective transmission of knowledge from former inspectors to the new ones.
