Thank you.
The approach we have taken to training is to enhance our entire training approach, both for new inspectors and for existing staff. As the president of CFIA has noted, there are significant numbers of new inspectors being hired. There is a substantive training program that they go through before they are on the line, so to speak.
As well, existing staff also are being offered the training. The training becomes a mandatory component of the overall program. Having additional inspectors allows us to move existing inspection staff through training, because, as you know, we need the inspection staff to step back from their daily duties to take training.
It is the combination of both things—the availability of a comprehensive program of enhanced training, which we have developed for inspection staff, and the availability of increased inspection capacity, which frees up staff to ensure they are available to take that improved training—that addresses the issue staff legitimately have raised with us of their interest in continual improvement of their skills.
