As I indicated a few moments ago, Mr. Chair, this brings forward the same notion that has now been defeated, concerning the potential that we will rely only on foreign finance in the way that current clause 67 is drafted in relation to the Fertilizers Act. I submit the same points, and as we've just discussed on the previous amendment, we think we know which way the debate is going to go on this one.
I would only say that the effort here is not to say that the minister can't look at any science from other countries. The minister doesn't need a statutory empowerment to look at science from anywhere. My concern is by making it statutory, he may rely on foreign science without mentioning that there must be Canadian science that's applicable. We run the risk of losing Canadian scientific capacity.
