Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the question.
The CSDSL program, as I commented in our opening remarks, is leading the world with how existing substances are being managed. It is our assertion that there needs to be a communication strategy to inform Canadians about the process the government undertook for the categorization process, the science behind that program, and the results of that program. Approximately 4,000 substances that have met the criteria in some way are going to be on that list, and that needs to be properly explained. There are going to be substances on that list that are beneficial to Canadians, substances like vitamin A and tamoxifen, if you are a cancer patient with a particular type of cancer. Titanium oxide is another example that we had. It's an ingredient in sunscreen.
What we're asking is that what's on the list be put into perspective. First you have to go back to what's on the DSL, which is a huge range of substances, as we discussed earlier in my presentation. We're looking for something that clearly articulates that the program has been science-based, articulates where we're going with respect to the results and next steps, and explains to Canadians what's on the list--because, as I mentioned, there is food, and it is both departments, to answer your first question.
