I have a quick follow-up question for Mr. Moffet, just for clarification.
My understanding is that the regime of highest risk and the use of CMR principles are incorporated in the rest of the bill. I'm confused about why adding “virtual elimination” back in would in any way threaten that, because it would not take out any of the new references to carcinogenic, mutagenic, and risk to reproductive function.
I'm still leaning towards supporting this amendment, because it seems like an important principle that was eliminated in Bill S-5, and this amendment has addressed some of the concerns around quantification of release. It seems as though it would be good to have both of these principles here.
