Mr. Speaker, I would like to underscore that the CFIA budget has only increased under our government. CFIA has more resources available now than it has ever had before. Under the previous Liberal government, food safety funding was cut in 1994 and again in 1995. If that was not bad enough, it cut it again in 2005.
Under this government, CFIA staffing has gone up by 14% since March 2006 and we have increased its budget by $113 million.
