Mr. Chair, I appreciate the intent of this amendment from my colleague across the way, and I would like to propose a subamendment to this motion.
The inclusion of proposed paragraph (b) would defeat the policy intent of the watch-list. The watch-list, as we know, is intended to be a list of non-toxic substances with hazardous properties in order to inform manufacturers, importers and other stakeholders about substances that could be determined to be toxic if the volume of use or exposure were to increase. The establishment of a watch-list would support the selection of safer alternatives by importers, manufacturers and others.
Therefore, I propose modifying the motion and deleting proposed subsection 75.1(3.1) from the motion, if that makes sense, Mr. Chair.
