Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Fraser, for another thorough audit. But I think my questioning will be for the CFIA group.

Ms. Swan, I am going to start with you. I am going to build on Mr. Christopherson's questions and then Mr. Murphy's as well.

Firstly, it was a very disappointing audit, to be frank. Frankly, it was quite a serious indictment of the management performance over at CFIA. We have a track record of disappointing audits in 1996 and 2003 that revealed similar issues and problems.

I guess I'll ask again: why haven't those issues been dealt with until now? How can we have the confidence that they will be addressed and the action plan will be fulfilled and implemented?
