What does it depend on, resources, knowledges, processes? What explains the difference in assessment times for one substance over another?
When we studied the Pest Control Products Act, we realized that there were huge delays. Often, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency did not have the resources to conduct the study.
I have several questions. What factors affect the delays? Is it a question of resources, processes, or something else? Have you read the proposal made by PollutionWatch which was presented this morning? Given current resources, do you feel that you can use such a process and respect the scheduled deadlines?
