Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being with us.
Mr. Murphy, this is from a news release issued by the Agriculture Union, on May 11:
Under threat of discipline, CFIA instructed some of its non-meat inspection staff to train up as “instant” meat inspectors to be deployed to potentially COVID-19 infected meat slaughter plants, whether they want to work there or not.
Could you inform this committee how many non-meat inspection staff have been redeployed as “instant” meat inspectors?
