Thank you very much.
Thank you for being witnesses and testifying today.
Thank you, Mr. Scarpaleggia, for your bill. My questions are going to be directed to you mostly. The department has some proposed amendments they would like to see made to your bill, and I just want to talk to you briefly about them to see what your reaction would be.
The first one is to the preamble, in which you make reference to the federal-provincial-territorial committee on drinking water. There's a concern that it doesn't report to the minister; it's not a federal entity; and it shouldn't be referenced in a Department of Health act.
If that were deleted from the preamble, would that offend you? Do you have any reaction to that change?
