Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and members of the committee. I want to thank Mr. Masse, who, I understand, submitted our name as a proposed presenter here today. Mr. Masse reached out to our association last year on the plastic microbeads issue, and we were quite successful in working with him on the ban that is now being put in place.
I'm also pleased today to join Mr. Fergus. We worked very briefly together in another life, some 10 years ago, so I extend our congratulations on his election to Parliament.
As we are sitting with colleagues from the automobile industry and the defence industry, it is a little odd to be coming here from the cosmetics industry. I would like to tell you that I'm really 85 years old and I use great anti-aging products, but you wouldn't believe me. Still, use the products. I know I'm on the record.
