| 4.

| 6. Consultation and Review Process Planned | The CFIA will consult with stakeholders in early 2010 on a cost recovery policy and framework, which will be used to guide the review of certain service standards and associated user fees that the CFIA and service recipients have identified as priorities, including certain animal health export certifications. |
