Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of RWED. It is in regard to his statement on the Regulatory Reform Measures Act. I would like to refer to page 2 of 2 where he refers to a new voluntary compliance mechanism that would substantially strengthen environmental protection and it allows companies and property owners to undertake their own environmental audits or environmental site assessments. I was wondering if the Minister could elaborate on how this would strengthen environmental protection practices? It seems more to me like putting the fox in the hen house. Could the Minister elaborate on how that, in fact, would strengthen the environmental protection? Thank you.
