Let me address my second point briefly. I would like, as I said, to recommend that CEPA be amended so that Canada can recognize assessments of other jurisdictions. Under section 75 of CEPA, we already can recognize assessments when other jurisdictions assess a substance and substantially restrict it. CEPA should also provide an ability to recognize assessments when other countries approve a substance. We've led the way with DSL categorization and screening, and I think other countries need to follow. Australia has actually led the way—and Jack will talk about this in a bit more detail—on recognizing assessments of new chemicals, and I think we should follow suit there.
