Response to the Auditor General (including to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development) |
Chapter 9- Animal Diseases- Canadian Food Inspection Agency The Canadian Food Inspection Agency monitors the international progression of animal diseases, controls animal imports, and responds to animal diseases when they are detected in Canada. Working with industry, the provinces, and other federal departments, the Agency delivers a number of programs and services designed to protect Canada's animal resource base. About $200 million annually—30 percent of its budget—is allocated to animal health programs. Among these animal health programs, the OAG examined the Agency's state of preparedness for animal disease emergencies—situations that call for prompt action outside of normal activities. The OAG also looked at how the Agency managed recent animal disease emergencies. Audit work for this chapter was substantially completed on 30 April 2010. Agency Response: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency agrees with all of the recommendations. Its detailed responses follow the recommendations throughout the chapter.
