Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To state your words, it is true that we're basically reviewing and recommending to the government at this time. But when the CEPA legislation was first introduced back in 1999—and it went for extensive review and consultation—there was quite a lot of discussion about what should be toxic and non-toxic. That came about to make sense of what took place.
In briefly listening to the comments of the deputants who came before us, I know they have some issues around this, whether it's ammonia or even salt for that matter, but we do know that in fact it can be very harmful for your health. Exposure to it can also be quite dangerous.
What I'm trying to understand from the people present today is whether they want us to start weakening the legislation, which took us so long to put into place and which ensures we have protection for our citizens, especially around the issue of toxicity. Are they asking us to weaken our legislation? Is that what they're actually recommending to this committee?
