Thank you very much, Chair.

Thank you to all the officials for all the work that you do on behalf of Canadians and for coming today and helping us with this study.

Ms. Ryan, I want to talk about the health side. One of the things we've heard from numerous witnesses is that plastics bioaccumulate in food chains and ecosystems.

Could you provide some insight into how you assess the potential for a substance to bioaccumulate in a food chain when adding a substance to schedule 1? How was this done for plastics?
