Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Well, Mr. Kenney was honoured just last night in Toronto at a function. We would love to have him here with us, but.... They're both good Irish names.
Thank you very much to our witnesses, to Ms. Dodds, for being here with us today. Air quality is important to Canada. Ozone monitoring is something Canadians can and should be proud of—a 50-year history. I'm just looking over the testimony you laid out for us here. Over 50 years there are a couple of big firsts where Canada has led the way: the development of monitoring standards; the Brewer ozone spectrophotometer; and then, of course, ten years later, in 1992, coming up with the UV index. These are useful tools that are now used worldwide.
I appreciate the update you've given us today. It's a bit of a technical presentation, but I want to ask whether you might be able to review for us what the new science is telling us about ozone depletion, what the next challenges might be, and how Canada is utilizing new technology to monitor and protect the ozone as we move forward with some changes.
