Thank you. I'm going to be sharing my 10 minutes with Mr. Calkins.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here. I've found it informative.
Of course the government is supportive of CEPA and wanting to make it better. We believe that the equivalency agreements are important, and we want them to be able to be effective and used. In fact, the Clean Air Act, Bill C-30, which was mentioned a number of times—and Ms. Cobden, you mentioned it—will make CEPA much more effective than the equivalency agreements, with the changes that we're proposing.
I do have some questions here.
Ms. Broten, you made some comments that I'm a little puzzled with, and perhaps you could clarify them. You mentioned the “talk and log”. You talked about expensive and time-consuming meetings. It sounded like you want action and you want us to be effective. You talked about “the whole long process of multi-stakeholder meetings, scientific twists and turns, market scares, job blackmail, and a Harmonization Agreement”. It sounded like you don't appreciate the consultation process, which does take time.
For clarification, are you're saying that you find the process very long and time-consuming and you'd like it to be more effective?
