Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Obviously, all of us have concerns about the fact that the federal government is not meeting its recommendations nor fully understanding the effects of toxic substances. We heard it today, and I think we heard in other meetings in the past that there are divisions within departments. The government is definitely not taking adequate action to manage the lack of risk to the public and the environment.
Because of all these concerns that many of us on this committee have, obviously what's fundamentally needed is leadership. My question to you is, what type of leadership do we need?
