Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  No, neither do I.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  No, I wouldn't like to comment on that.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  Yes.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  Yes, I know, but--

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  I'd like to give you one example--

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  Right. As I said in my opening statement, the majority of people importing meat into Canada are reputable people. They want to do the right thing and they want to follow the procedures. They want to do everything right.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  Yes.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  I can't supply that, but what I can tell you is that they're reducing the risk of that happening. I think they've gone a little overboard on some things, to be honest, like the Department of Homeland Security. As you know, they're quite extreme in what they want, and what has been happening is that to get a load of meat into the U.S., you have to go through three or four government agencies.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  No, by no means.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  First of all, I consume Maple Leaf products now and I always have. Secondly, the one thing I'd like to draw your attention to is that in Canada we allow exporters of meat to the U.S.A. to have notice in advance on whether their loads are going to be inspected or not, and I objected to this quite vigorously when I was with CFIA.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  Right.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  That's a good question. I remember when it was proposed at the time--

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  I would say when they went to the skip losses; it's part of the free trade agreement. I think it was back in the early nineties.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  No, that's not actually a job with CFIA, I don't think, to train people outside the industry.

Subcommittee on Food Safety committee  It's across the gamut. As I said, trucking companies, customs brokers. People in the U.S. have sent some of their people up.
