Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's always a pleasure to see you, even if it's by video conference.
I thank the witnesses for being here.
My first question is about the identification of contaminated sites. Last week, the committee heard from the heads of the contaminated sites directorate. One thing they told us was that they didn't have access to registries where each of the sites could indicate the chemicals that had been used in the past. Indeed, it is often several years after their use that we realize that products are contaminants.
How do you go about raising the red flag, for example? When you see that a product is a contaminant, you contact the contaminated sites directorate, but what exactly is the process? Are lists of contaminants that have been used on DND sites provided to you on a regular basis? How does it work in terms of identifying potentially contaminated sites?
