Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to start off with a comment to Mr. Smith. I found your toxic reports very interesting. I'm from British Columbia. Robert Bateman is very popular in the art world, as you know, and he lives in an area of Canada that you'd expect the chemicals in his body, the toxins in his body, to be minimal. I was quite shocked, as I'm sure he was. So I found the studies very interesting, and thank you for the efforts you've made.
I'd like to ask a question regarding the 93%. I think you used that figure in the Great Lakes area. I think Mr. Wellner also used that statistic. Is there consensus from Health Canada and Stats Canada and Environment Canada? Do we agree with the figure of 93%? I think that was where Mr. Silva was going. Is there consensus that we have 93% more pollutants coming from Canadian industry in the Great Lakes area than from the U.S. side?
