I think that what's really interesting is that this committee, back in 1999, was the first to initiate the amendment that was around the categorization and scrutiny of the domestic substances list, which ultimately turned into the chemicals management plan, which is a world-leading program. I think, as I mentioned in my opening statement, that Canadians should be very proud of that program. It is risk-based. It deals with environmental issues and it deals with human health. I think that we've set the bar really high, and I know that other jurisdictions want to emulate that. I think we shouldn't be afraid to stand up and say that the CMP is a world-leading program and that our substances and our products are assessed appropriately.
