The online consultation we had, in which we looked at the application of the act and how it was being administered, looked at both how the act itself was doing and then how our process was working. It was done at the same time we were looking at our cost recovery initiative, which is moving forward. We looked at what sorts of things stakeholders were looking for us to do.
Generally they felt that the act was meeting the needs they had seen. At that time they were pushing us to invest more in certain areas—for example, operations, trade, and international food standards. They were looking at alignment of policies and scientific approaches. They also looked at some of the outreach activities we do and tried to encourage us to do more of those, and they looked at the IT infrastructure that we have.
A lot of what we got back from our consultations was focused on how we actually operationalize or how we administer the act more so than on the act itself. Generally the feedback we got on the act was that it was a fairly solid piece of legislation.
