Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Definitely, I appreciate hearing from the officials. What the testimony clarified for me is that the Senate amendment actually created a requirement for the minister. It created a requirement for the minister to answer this question each time; it is a kind of checkpoint. That seems beneficial in my mind, especially given that this government has committed to introduce legislation to end cosmetic testing by 2023—this year—and also to phase out toxicity testing on animals by 2035. If the government is serious about that, there should be some kind of requirement or checkpoint when it comes to addressing these issues.
