Thank you.

I have a quick follow-up question. Can the wording of subclause 27(2) be strengthened to say when that monitoring needs to happen? We have so many first nations who are in rural and remote communities that don't have access to those licensed laboratories.

Would it improve the bill to say that the monitoring needs to include licensed laboratories to perform drinking water tests in northern communities?

See context to find out what was said next.
