Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll continue in English because my French is probably more difficult to hear with a bad Internet connection.
You talked a lot about the new plan of chemicals management, how that's a priority and what's happening with that. However, before I get to my question, I also want to thank you and your department for the leadership on reducing the need for animal testing and for trying to make progress in that area. I think it's very important and I'm very grateful.
My question has to do with the assessment and reassessment of chemicals. I'm assuming they're covered under the higher standards of Bill S-5. I would just like you to comment on what they are and what specific benefits you see coming from that improved chemicals management plan
