Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions, through you, of course, will be directed to the CFIA.
In the testimony you shared with the committee today, you mentioned you had hired new inspectors, 144, in fact, and 44 veterinarians. You've welcomed back some recently retired individuals, reassigned staff and also funded more overtime. I assume that you probably do not have a concern with a lack of inspectors.
However, have there been challenges in meeting minimum staffing levels? Have there been absenteeism problems with food inspectors? Should we be concerned that a lack of inspectors could further disrupt the meat supply chain?
