Thank you.
Clause 3 of this bill has a problem. It would require the government to take unnecessary and ineffective regulatory action when effective regulatory action has already been taken. I pointed that out in my opening.
Our proposed amendment would ensure that PFOS can be added to the VE list without creating any obligation for additional release regulations. We agree that adding PFOS to the VE list would have important symbolic value, especially as the world considers what to do with the substance throughout the international process.
Our proposed changes would not, however, result in the government being committed to developing an ineffective regulation.
A level of quantification is the lowest level a substance can be measured. As it stands, the LOQs are developed for emissions and are intended to be the ultimate release limits in release-limit regulations.
So we believe our amendment deals with this, and again, I thank Ms. Minna for her work.
We have our motion. I don't think it's necessary for me to read it out, but I believe it will deal clearly with PFOS in an appropriate manner.
