Thanks.
I appreciate your being here. It really would have helped to have had your written presentations, because you've presented a lot of technical information, and hopefully.... It's very helpful. We look forward to receiving those; it's a bit problematic today.
First of all, though, on some of the issues with neonicotinoids that you're raising, are you aware that in fact the PMRA is working on this with the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States? They have a study going on right now. “The Agencies are also working collaboratively on the re-evaluation of three neonicotinoid pesticides focussed on the risk to pollinators.” They're working on that right now.
That's the first question, and in sequence to that, the Senate has taken on the issue of bee health in their agriculture committee, and I understand they've been hearing from witnesses. They are travelling the country and are taking this seriously. Have you presented to the Senate? Are you aware of these initiatives that are under way to try to resolve some of these concerns that have been raised today?
