I think that the report shows that even if the core funding was cut, the funding from all other sources has generally remained the same. On the other hand, the report raised the following question that we are dealing with in our departmental planning. We want to know whether a specific activity is sufficiently funded by budgets from all sources and if we are carrying out our responsibilities adequately.
As I said, we are not starting from scratch. Every day, we carry out an entire range of activities to evaluate the risks that products can pose to Canadian consumers. That is what we are doing for hazardous products. Management is applying an entire range of methods like inspections, monitoring, following up on consumers' complaints, discussions with the regulatory authorities of other countries, to be really sure that we can carry out our mandate.
As I said and as we read in the Auditor General's report, the management framework could be improved in order to do this, and this is the objective that we are currently seeking to attain.
