Mr. Chair, I never cease to be amazed at Mr. Julian's sense of imagination. Now we're dealing with conspiracy theories.
We need to get back to the facts. What's the evidence?
I'd like to back to Mr. Moshansky's evidence. Based on what you've told us here today, it appears that he may have been speaking under a misunderstanding of the facts.
First of all, regarding the national audit program, he decried the fact that it had been cancelled, but all of you have confirmed that indeed, the national audit program was replaced with a process that is even more rigorous and that is going to lead to improved safety.
The second aspect is still this issue of the 1,400 inspectors we supposedly had back in the late 1980s, of which there are now 873. You addressed that briefly earlier, but I'd like you to touch on that again. Exactly what happened to all of those supposed inspectors that have been let go or have retired and not been replaced?
