Environment committee  I'm sorry. The sound cut out partway through. Could you repeat your question? I apologize.

Environment committee  In terms of how it would flow through CEPA, I'm not as clear. I do know how we would do it in terms of industry-led initiatives taking that information and using it as a basis for informing prioritization through various research and innovation bodies that we're affiliated with.

Environment committee  Part of our interest in looking at the data component in particular is in achieving a common understanding of status and trends in the environment. I think it allows for a richer dialogue, a multi-stakeholder dialogue—which is what you were referring to earlier—about what the pos

Environment committee  I am concerned that I may have misstated earlier. I think the issue, as Justyna said, is more about what the response mechanism looks like. The issue is that if you have a substance that is a lower hazard but more diffuse, the way you would approach it from a management perspecti

Environment committee  In terms of Canada versus the U.S.?

Environment committee  They're different.

Environment committee  In some ways, yes. We've actually provided some analysis on regulations in Canada and those in comparable jurisdictions in the U.S. We'd be happy to provide that as follow-up, if that would be helpful.

Environment committee  It may require a bit of work and research in terms of understanding where current data sets reside and which portions could be used and integrated under the CEPA umbrella. I think that would probably be the starting point. We do have reporting, as I said, that occurs by virtue o

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  I think it would have some utility in terms of being introduced in the preamble to the act to serve as a guiding principle for application.

Environment committee  That's not to say that it couldn't be done, and I would probably have to look at a proposal, but I struggle to think how you would write all those elements into regulation.

Environment committee  We are encouraged to have new research come into the public realm. Further consideration in terms of further analysis and further monitoring of implications of that study.... Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance is probably better positioned to answer that question, so you ma

Environment committee  We don't, but we certainly could put forward our proposal. We would like to give it more thought. I think the issue is really how to use those definitions to inform the nature of assessment and problem definition attached to substances so that there is an appropriate response.

Environment committee  I think this speaks a bit to the comment we had regarding data and information systems, in that our members experience, or are subject to, multiple reporting obligations through various systems. I think the question is whether or not there are opportunities to achieve greater cla

Environment committee  We're increasingly seeing that interest from the public. I think it's important to be able to respond to a local need to know. There is tremendous opportunity to make enhancements to the data systems to allow for greater transparency in that regard.
