Mr. Chair, I would just like to say that we can't not consider asbestos to be a hazardous material. For me, this is a major issue that concerns worker health and safety.
I will move on to my next question.
The budget implementation act will update the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System, which is a good thing. However, Canada committed to implementing the measures in the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals by June 1, 2015.
Why delay? Why not move forward now and implement the globally harmonized system? What are the reasons for the delay?
