Thank you.

I want to elaborate on what was already discussed by several of the members here.

Thank you for coming today and sharing your information and time with us. It's very enlightening.

I want to talk about what was mentioned in some of the presentations about the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, the CCME: that they have Canada-wide standards. If I can get some clarification from the department here, are those Canada-wide standards mandatory for the CCME?
