Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
One of the things the minister said when she was here...her speech on page 2 mentions an increase of $64 million for the chemical management plan. I know it is a comprehensive strategy to protect Canadians and the environment from the harmful chemicals we see in the environment. The budget provided renewed funding for the plan.
I wonder if you could take us back and tell us a little bit about the importance of the plan and how it is safeguarding the health of Canadians from harmful chemicals.
