Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Madam Minister, good day and welcome.
Gentlemen, good day and welcome to you.
One of the budget items for your department refers to the regulation of pesticides. As you undoubtedly know, the Government of Quebec is currently being sued by American pesticide producers, on the basis of NAFTA-related arguments, because of that government's policy prohibiting pesticides on its territory.
Using funds from this budget item or another, can you support the Government of Quebec in its defence of its law?
