Mr. Gerard Dollard:

Generally, in relation to proceedings, it comes down to who has statutory responsibility. In many cases, it falls to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine because it has responsibility for seizing animal remedies and such issues.

We are working with the Department with regard to authorising our officers. Two have been authorised and we would like to see more being authorised. The total proceedings last year amounted to four prosecutions, but that does not take into account prosecutions-----
