Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Mayers, I'll go back to you since you were here earlier and I recognize that your colleagues weren't. I'm not going to go right through the whole piece on USDA, but I think you heard what I asked the minister. This question is in reference to the fact that we know three plants in the spot check were delisted. We know, in fact, that they weren't shipping product to the U.S. because USDA inspectors said “you cannot”, for whatever short period of time that might have been.
I don't care if it was a day, a week, a month, or a year: we did not report the names of those companies on the CFIA website to inform Canadians that they were delisted. My question is why. Why wouldn't we? And will we be doing it in the future?
