Welcome, everyone.
We'll get started with our witnesses. We have the pleasure of hearing today from Elaine MacDonald, senior scientist at Ecojustice; and Maggie MacDonald, toxic program manager at Environmental Defence Canada. From the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada, we have Bob Masterson, president and CEO; and Pierre Gauthier, vice-president of public affairs.
Thank you very much for joining us.
Bob and Pierre, would you like to start?
Just so you know, we have 10 minutes for you for your witness statements, and then we have a period of time for questioning.
