As an environmental, not-for-profit organization, our only option to participate in the process is to submit comments in the public comment period. We are not considered one of the stakeholders that Mr. Hunter has referred to, who are consulted early on in the process.
I can also tell you that many of the independent university researchers who have published or have studies on neonicotinoids are also not consulted up front in the process, nor are many other stakeholders from the agricultural sector. From our perspective, we just send our comments.
We do request, from time to time, meetings with the PMRA to understand their decision-making process. It's very difficult. I'm just going to leave it at that.
