SYD BAUMEL: Most of my communications with Marc Richard were by telephone. In this email, Richard provides a CFIA expert's answer to my request for confirmation of the implication made by Penny Kelly and Gus Wruck that CEMA's Animal Care Certification Program (an industry program) is in any way related to or accredited by CFIA, a federal government agency.
