Okay. That's what I was trying to get at.
Some serious issues have been raised here by the Auditor General, and we should all take them seriously. I think I'm convinced that the CFIA is doing that. There were some problems in here, and it's very clear that they were identified under the previous government after severe cuts to the CFIA. They always say about a problem that the first step is admitting you have one, and the CFIA has acknowledged that it needs to do better and is committed to doing better. I'm convinced of that, and that's a good thing.
I know the government is trying to give CFIA the tools and budget to carry out and fulfill its mandate. The budget has actually increased under this government, and more resources are available to the CFIA than ever before. Staffing has increased by 14% since March 2006. The budgets were cut by previous governments in 1994 and 1995, and again in 2005.
Another $113 million has been invested in the CFIA, and there are 200 or more CFIA inspectors. I mentioned the food safety committee, and its inspectors who appeared as witnesses even indicated that the entire system has been improving since 2006.
What else is there other than more resources? More is never enough, but is it headed in the right direction?
