Mr. Watson, as you mentioned, the categorization process of the domestic substances list is just finishing. One of the things we can think about in terms of outcomes is what we are doing with the substances that have been flagged in that process as being the worst actors. We have substances that Health Canada and Environment Canada have now determined are toxic to humans and the environment, and that are persistent in the environment. In terms of outcomes that can be put in CEPA, we can think about the mandatory timelines for when we deal with those particular priority substances and what kinds of action plans we're looking for to make sure that with these real baddies--we're talking about 100 out of 23,000--something is done about them promptly.
