Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Greetings, lady and gentlemen.
I'm going to get right to the subject of regulation that you have just referred to. You seem to be saying that Canada and, I presume, Quebec, should perhaps review their regulations. Why should the same thing not apply to the United States? An American company has just launched legal proceedings against the Quebec government because a fairly powerful herbicide is not authorized for use in Quebec and the company believes it is going to suffer enormous losses. So I think that is an excellent regulation.
That's why I don't understand your reaction when you say that it should be up to Canada to review its regulations, namely with regard to certain types of deodorant. The use of certain herbicides can be harmful to our health, so I think the regulations in force are good. I would say that it is the Americans who are extremely tolerant in some cases, when it suits them, but are less so in other cases, when it doesn't.
