From our perspective, I think removing the confusion that's inherent right now in the use of the term “toxic” and applying it broad-based--it applies sometimes inappropriately--removing that confusion would make the act more effective and thereby strengthen it. We're certainly not looking to weaken the act.
As I said earlier, in response to a question from one of the other members, there does need to be a legal review to make sure there's no constitutional issue around that, but that's a question you need to ask Environment Canada lawyers.
