I can comment on the amendment in clause 12, which is to eliminate the whole virtual elimination regime. That requires the creation of a second list. However, as I just explained, in Bill S-5 we are also proposing a second list. If you will, it's a list of substances that, because of certain characteristics to be defined in regulation, need to be identified, put on a list and subjected to very stringent risk management actions.
At the officials level, we have advised that we're not concerned about the administrative burden, either on government or on industry, associated with that list. In fact, what we want to do is define very clearly for government decision-makers and for industry precisely what those criteria would be that would determine whether a substance goes on that list. That would provide certainty to industry. If a substance is on that list, again, there's also certainty about the kind of risk management action that you can expect if you're in the business of using or creating that substance.
It's our view that we'll be providing more certainty to industry about a broader range of substances than is the case at the moment.
