Mr. Chair, let me see if I can get the order properly on that.
I am assured that the numbers of inspectors and the breakdowns have been sent to committee. If the information has not been received, maybe it is in translation, but I know it has gone to committee so the member for Welland will have that very soon.
CFIA inspectors, like anyone else in this changing environment, are constantly trained and retrained. The numbers shift; there are capacity shifts depending on where they are in that retraining process.
On the specific issue he talked about, yes, it is nearing completion as I understand. Dr. Brian Evans is assuring me that those projects continue to move forward and that we are making great headway on them.
