Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses who are appearing here today.
Let me preface my questions by simply saying that time is something we are in short supply of, so if there is further information needed, please feel free to follow up with this committee, whether that be specific amendments or further information regarding your comments.
As somebody who is very involved in agriculture, I have a lot of questions related to that. However, I'll keep it directly associated with Bill S-5.
You talked about the need to find the right balance. Chemicals are an important part of agriculture in Canada, and you talked about needing that balance and how CEPA and other related acts have a significant effect on that.
I invite you to expand on the specifics of what that balance should look like and how important it is that we start that balance here today.
