Thanks for the question.
Indeed, Health Canada pays a lot of attention to emerging science and works with the World Health Organization, the Environmental Protection Agency and other partners around the world in monitoring emerging science. The research that you mentioned has certainly been part of that broader surveillance of emerging science on drinking water.

I have a point of order.
As a follow-up for Mr. Barbosa, I mentioned barriers and working interjurisdictionally.
Could you supply the committee with an update on any barriers between the regional municipalities and the indigenous communities, and how they can't work together? Maybe we can clear a pathway so that these projects can move forward more expeditiously.

Thank you. That is not a point of order, but any questions that bring out good information are welcomed.
So, thank you all for a great discussion, and especially all the witnesses, who have come to talk about a complex and sometimes difficult subject. We are grateful for their presence and for all they do on a daily basis to try to ensure better freshwater management in Canada.
I wish everyone a good day.
