Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good day, Mr. Dill.
Good day, Mr. MacDonald.
I will be directing my comments and questions primarily to Mr. Dill, as they are somewhat related to what Lawrence just talked about. When issues come up for discussion, or when there are contradicting opinions like those we have heard so far, it usually means that we have touched upon the most important element to consider when making sense of the issue at hand. In other words, laboratory studies are one thing; and field studies are, or can be, quite another.
Aside from that, are there any other elements we should closely consider in order to put things in perspective? I hope that you understand that when I hear from two scientists with two contrary or greatly dissenting opinions, I wonder what parameters—aside from plain old common sense—I should consider to get a better grasp of the issue.
