Thank you, Madam Chair.
Yes, absolutely we did.
I believe what you're referring to is an audit that we posted, which was done of the CFIA's import policy. The audit covered the period from 2005 to 2008 and it identified shortcomings. We have, in fact, had a very clear look at the shortcomings and are implementing a number of measures, which have dealt with what might be shortcomings.
I would also point out that the government announced the food safety action plan in 2008 with money for CFIA, among others, to focus exactly on risks related to importing foods. We have taken those funds, we are doing more border blitzes, we have increased our testing of high-risk foods, and we have basically used the audit to help define how we should be spending the money in order to improve our inspection of imported foods.
We are very clear that the level of safety of imported foods and domestically produced foods, of course, has to be the same. We cannot put Canadians at risk from import foods. So we did use the audit, we did use the money the government gave us in the food safety action plan, and we focused on imported products.
