You are right.
As a regulatory agency, indeed a public health agency, our goal is not to be happy with what we have accomplished and call it a day. We know we need to do more. We need to consider every possible way of doing more. And that involves a number of steps. We need to begin by consolidating successful initiatives for prepackaged foods, and making sure that no ground has been lost and that solutions are available to food processors. They need oilseed plants and oils that can replace trans fats.
We also need to do more when it comes to the food service sector. That is one of the findings that has emerged from the monitoring program. The food service sector has not been as successful in this area, and we are in the process of examining why that is. One of the reasons that is coming to light is, once again, the content in oilseed plants. We need to look at trans fat replacement solutions.
We are already seeing positive results in this sector. Some solid progress is being made, but it is not consistent across the board. As we speak, the department is completing its analysis of the monitoring program results. We are at the risk analysis phase, and scientific peer reviewers are in the process of validating the information. We will then look at all the necessary options that will enable us to further reduce every Canadian's trans fat intake.
