In any inspection program.... We regulate quite a few different commodities at Health Canada, as you know. One common basis of all inspection programs is that we make our decisions on a risk basis. Nowhere is that more evident than in inspection programs. We look at what we call the risk profile of entities. Many factors go into that risk profile. That is how we decide where we need to inspect. Especially in a sector where we haven't been inspecting for a long time, it is not at all unusual, and in fact it was quite intentional, that we would go where we thought the risk was highest.
