We'd be remiss if we didn't talk just for a moment--and this is directly to CEPA--about salt.
You mentioned earlier, Ms. Cooper, that sometimes trade trumps health and safety. How would you apply that argument to the issue of salt and its toxicity, to those who want to bring salt under the toxic classification? In fact, if we were to remove salt from our society and remove it from the road salt application, how would we be able to justify the health and safety of that product in the same way as we would the other?
I know what the answer is, but here is a product that we have been using for generations, for thousands of years, from the beginning of time. I would hope your indulgence would never cause us to go down the road where we would classify salt as having the same toxicity as we're talking about some of these other products having.
