Environment committee  I'm not representing the fertilizer industry, so I shouldn't speak on their behalf, but a point I did make, and I think would get us to action faster, certainly on the question of ammonia, which was assessed under PSL.... If the debate there had focused more on what the context of the problem was, you would have achieved a solution much faster.

Environment committee  I'd like to put this in a broader context. I've been reading the papers a lot lately, and they've been very hard on past governments and present governments for spending a lot of time and money talking about things and not doing enough? We should put this into context here. I'm not sure that putting more timelines into the statute is really going to be the answer.

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Mr. Clerk, for inviting me today to talk about timelines and my experiences. I'm here representing myself only, but I've had many years of experience working on CEPA for the salt industry, the fertilizer sector, and the treated wood sector; and as an adviser to some members of the ICG during the GHG debate.
