Mr. Bungay has had extensive experience in the development, application and implementation of inspection and HACCP systems.

The QMP is a requirement for the export of over $4.2 billion worth of fish products per year and has been successfully implemented in the 1000 registered Canadian fish processing establishments. Mr. Bungay is currently working on the redesign of the fish import program and the fish export certification program to improve their efficiency and effectiveness.
