First of all, I want to respond to Mr. Jean's friendly amendment. He's proposing that we substitute “climate change” for “global warming”. We don't have a problem with this friendly amendment. Why? Because fundamentally, we're simply asking that as much information as possible be collected to facility research and a better understanding of the state of the environment. Basically, with this amendment, we're asking that as much information as possible be compiled, on substances as well as on activities, to further our understanding of the state of the environment. That is the gist of our motion and therefore, we're prepared to go along with Mr. Jean's friendly amendment.
