Well, the shutdown was very short compared to what we have seen in the past, 
and it looks as if contingency plans were at the ready.

I tend to take a pretty dim view of CFIA and CHC and tend to think they are 
usually part of the problem and not part of the solution, but this time I am 
pleased to be proven wrong.  At the same time, I suspect the usual 
behind-the-scenes heroes did some heavy lifting and went without sleep for a 
while.

Fortunately, this disruption was just before the main rush.
