If I may comment on the current system, what we're talking about here is the new substances regime, for which there is a timeline of eighty days for the government to respond. This is for new substances. I'd like to point out to the committee that if we talk about domestic substances, the existing substances in the market, they've already had seven years to go through the categorization process and collect data through that process.
With the timelines that we outline, you wouldn't actually get a result until five years after you put in that timeline, and that's just for the first batch of 600. It would be seven years for the next batch and nine years for the third batch. We're talking about huge amounts of time to gather the types of data that we're talking about. On top of that, there are obviously exceptions that you can build into the process, like exemptions, time extensions, and so on.
