Thank you.
When I appeared before the Senate, I had confirmed to the senators that all the products, both domestically manufactured and imported, have to meet the requirements of CEPA and its various regulations. There is the new substance identification; there are three sets of regulations for volatile organic compounds; and of course there are the various chemicals management plan risk management regulations.
Those products, of course, all have to meet the Canadian Consumer Product Safety Act and its regulations, the Pest Control Products Act and its regulations, the Food and Drugs Act and its regulations, the Competition Bureau's guidelines, and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act.
I think there was a kind of baseline of information provided during the development of that amendment, so what we're seeing is that this particular requirement is going to be asking Industry Canada—which, in our opinion, does not have the scientific expertise or legislative tools on consumer products around post-market reporting and policies, etc.—to address the intent of the amendment. We think that if there are unsafe products, Environment Canada and Health Canada, which currently have very robust compliance programs, should manage those.
We don't see the need to have section 67.1 in this particular piece of legislation.
