Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you folks for coming in today and talking to us about this issue.
I was struck, like many of us around the table here, with the opening remarks and the challenge of reconciling the comments that we don't have enough scientific certainty to recommend a regulatory regime and that discussion about regulatory regimes and policy recommendations is coming out of other jurisdictions and agencies. I guess all of my questions are going to be in an effort to reconcile those two parts of the presentation.
There was some discussion about the policy work being done in the department. Could you elaborate on what that policy work is and what the policy process is that would bring us to the point at which recommendations would come out of the department on this issue?
