It seems to me, though, that this is separate and apart from the regulations that will be drafted and adopted. This is to say that if and when there is a need to change the list--the schedule of toxins and pathogens--you'll have a scientific advisory committee that makes the decisions. I think, as Luc Malo just said, this complements that. It just means you have to consult openly, you have to share the results, you have to consult the provinces, and you have to answer their concerns. I don't see the problem in something that basic.
