Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to all the witnesses for being here today.

My first question is for Ms. Gagnon-Rocque.

Ms. Gagnon-Rocque, thank you for being with us today.

The House of Commons has referred the study of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act to the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development.

What types of changes do you think should be made to improve the administration or enforcement of the act?

You mentioned that you think prosecution is rare. You also stressed the importance of certainty.

Does the bill need to be amended? If so, how can we improve it?
