Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses.

I have a question for you, Ms. MacDonald.

We have been asking you questions about transparency. Some stakeholders are saying that transparency is a nice idea, but it is difficult to enforce. Consequently, certain aspects of transparency should be strengthened in Bill S‑5. You have given some examples.

I would like to call your attention to Schedule 1. In the current version of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, Schedule 1 has “Toxic substances” as a title. In this proposed version of Bill S‑5, this title has been withdrawn, which is concerning.

What do you think?
