Absolutely. Thank you very much for the very relevant question.
All the work that we do within the safe environments directorate on chemicals risk assessments is science-based. We rely on scientific studies. We work with other experts and other jurisdictions in that area and we definitely rely on a review process that goes out there. As part of this review process, we often get back comments like “I don't agree with this.” That's very nice, but in the end we need a scientific rationale as to why they agree with it or why they do not agree with it.
We make a very strong effort, in terms of trying to communicate the results of these science-based assessments out to the average Canadian. We've started that. In a series of what we call plain-language summaries, we take that science and we then transfer it into more common language and try to get that out there.
In terms of informing our science, we rely on organizations such as the OECD, as well as the World Health Organization, and also try to bring in that international expertise to help inform our decisions.
I'm sorry about the extra time.
