Yes.
There are many different systems in many countries. I mentioned the Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail in France, which requires independent scientists to conduct assessments. These are either requested by the agency or suggested by its scientists. This independence is a very timely and important element, since it makes it possible to restore public confidence, but also to ask the questions much more broadly.
I spoke very briefly about the importance of having a comprehensive perspective, particularly with respect to issues that affect Bill S-5 and that may remain for 20 years. The situation is evolving at such a pace that it is imperative to do forward-looking, interdisciplinary work in order to understand these issues without condemning ourselves at the outset to being extremely late. The very principles of these schemes are independence and reliance on independent scientific literature, not primarily on industry literature.
