Mr. Speaker, our government takes food safety very seriously, and that is why we are continually improving our food inspection practices.
The audit in question was done between 2005 and 2008. Since the audit was completed, CFIA has taken action to improve enforcement, prosecute more offenders, and increase the training of inspectors.
Since taking office, our government has added more than 500 food inspectors. This year alone CFIA's budget has increased by 13%.
