Thank you very much for the question.
The amendments proposed in Bill S-5 around the Food and Drugs Act reconcile the current regime, wherein assessments are being done under both the Food and Drugs Act for pharmaceuticals and certain chemicals and also under CEPA for the environmental assessment.
The proposal is to reconcile the potential duplication to enable the full assessment, both from human health and environmental considerations, under the Food and Drugs Act, and that will result in efficiencies for both industry and the government.
