Mr. John McCarthy:
The significant number of inspections that have been done is one barometer. However, when the number of inspections is set in the context of a risk-based strategy, where one is targeting the inspections at areas of higher risk, to come to a point where there is a low level of infraction against a background of inspections that are targeted at the higher potential risk areas, that is a good space to be in.
