Because there's a moment left in that time, I have one question I'd like to put to you, Minister, and perhaps to Mr. David Butler-Jones as well.
Today the committee of the parties to the Rotterdam Convention are meeting in Geneva to determine what are those hazardous chemicals that require informed prior consent to be traded internationally. Canada has consistently said that asbestos should not be on that list. But we just recently got a memo from Health Canada advising the government that, yes, Health Canada believes chrysotile asbestos should be on the list of the Rotterdam Convention, the United Nations list of chemicals requiring informed prior consent.
Could you advise us on whether, since you've been minister, Minister Aglukkaq, your department has been asked for an opinion? I would put a similar question to David Butler-Jones.
