Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Zann and Dr. Waldron, thank you for being with us today. You are absolutely right to say that health and the environment are closely linked.
Yesterday, the government and the Minister of Environment introduced a bill on modernizing the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, which includes two important provisions: the right to a healthy environment and the protection of vulnerable populations.
Ms. Zann, don't you feel that the government's bill, which is broader in scope—it seems to have a more binding application and is intertwined with current environmental policy—sort of makes your bill obsolete?
