Thank you very much.
Thank you to the witnesses for their presentations.
Ms. Cook, in the document that you handed out at the start of the meeting, you assured us that when it comes to transporting chemical products, which includes dangerous goods, the Chemical Industry Association of Canada does more than what is required under Canadian legislation. You state that under your commitment to responsible management, which is one of your association's sustainable development initiatives recognized by the UN, your members must choose the safest means of transportation, itinerary and carrier when transporting their products. I congratulate you on making this choice.
Do you not think that regulations like those should be imposed on everyone? In his remarks, Mr. Cove told us that would involve higher costs. You are paying more than others because you place greater importance on safety. Do you not think we should strengthen our regulations so that the costs are the same for everyone?
