Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll be splitting my time with Mr. Harvey.
I really appreciate the witnesses being here today. I find this very interesting.
I will give a little background on myself, and I'll try to make it short. My wife and I have five children, and given the importance of what they eat and their environment as they develop.... We are now in the stage of our life where we have grandchildren, and we hope and pray that they develop in a healthy way. We have three and two-thirds grandchildren; there is one on the way.
I really appreciate the comments and the focus on children who are developing, in their younger ages and even in the pre-birth time of their lives. I also have an 84-year-old father and can see how vulnerable he is to air quality.
Under the Pest Control Products Act—Mr. Godfrey alluded to this.... I want to read a paragraph there. It says “...in assessing risk to humans, consideration be given to aggregate exposure to pest control products, cumulative effects of pest control products and the different sensitivities to pest control products of major identifiable subgroups...”. The vulnerable groups are listed as pregnant women, infants, children, women, and seniors. That is a very clear list of vulnerable groups.
Is there support for that being part of the preamble in CEPA? Could I have a quick answer to that?
