Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I apologize that the time is so short. It seemed to fly by, didn't it?
Mr. Gage, I thought you raised a very good point that we hadn't heard from others, and that is the assumption about labels, which is that they'll be followed. I want you to know that your point was noted. Challenging assumptions is what science is all about, isn't it? Thank you for raising that point.
I want to raise quickly the question about the precautionary principle, because I think I heard a different range of perspectives on what that actually means. What we heard from the earlier witness from the Sierra Club, Mr. Bennett, I think was almost an absolute: that if we don't have all the science and all the potential impacts, we shouldn't approve it. I don't know whether we ever have all the science on everything.
I heard a little bit of a different take from some of the witnesses at the table here. I know that we want maximum information, and my take on it is that this is the purpose of conditional licensing: when new information becomes available, they can respond quicker. Your objection is that it's not happening, I gather.
