Thank you.
Just to clarify this, I didn't say I couldn't identify the number of inspectors. We can very clearly state that on, for example, March 31, 2010, the CFIA had just over 3,300 field inspectors. What I said was related specifically to the question of how many non-slaughter inspectors there were prior to the listeria outbreak. I simply don't have that number with me here today. Those are two very different things.
The agency, in its work around inspection and increasing inspection capacity, has made this a very clear area of focus. When we speak of non-slaughter meat processing, we have to understand that it includes broad meat processing, read-to-eat meat, cold storage, etc.
So the inspection coverage for our non-slaughter capacity is the area of focus that the honourable member's question went to. In speaking to that, what's important is that in addition to the capacity that existed prior to the review undertaken by the independent investigator, the CFIA has added to and augmented that capacity to the tune today of 150 inspectors, with an ultimate target of 170 additional inspectors.
