It was a point of general information, Mr. Chairman, which I think relates to Monsieur Lussier's question and to several other questions. There are two documents—one is published and the other will appear shortly—that might be of great relevance to the committee's deliberations.
I chaired a committee with the U.S. National Research Council on how to test environmental agents for toxicity, in the broad sense. We published a report last year that goes into detail on all the different approaches and the current state of the science.
Our follow-up report, which we're just wrapping up now, looks at how we can do this better in the future. Our charge was to look 10 or 20 years down the road, to really be transformative, and to ask questions such as these: Is it possible to test all chemicals? Is it possible to find more efficient ways that would use fewer animals? What are the emerging technologies that can really help us do toxicity testing smarter? How do we address all of the different life stages at which there might be unique vulnerabilities?
That report is undergoing peer review and should be finalized. I would certainly be happy to make a copy available as soon as it's completed.
