I put it after line 32.
Our clerk must have sent you the definition in the Rio Declaration. This follows up on the discussion we had on Friday, when we wanted to define the precautionary principle in accordance with principle 15 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, which dates back to 1992. It states, “Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation.”
Do I need to discuss this further? I have done so extensively in the past week.
The English version of the 1999 act uses the definition given in the Rio Declaration. The error is in the French version, and this corrects the error.
