Thank you, Chair.
I just want to change the channel as my good friend, Mr. Woodworth, did, focusing on some positive things that are happening. There are a lot of positive things. I thank him for reminding us of that.
In that vein, Commissioner Vaughan and Auditor General Fraser brought to our attention the point that there is long-range transport of air pollutants in the north and that is a concern. Our good friend, Mr. McGuinty, brought up climate change. These are impacts in the north.
So on biomonitoring, we can see trends, we can see hot spots, and we can see problems. So if there is a problem, we can scientifically look at it and we can look for a solution, hopefully, and also, there are international agreements, to find out where the pollutants are coming from and then try to eliminate the problem. Could you touch on the importance of biomonitoring?
