For the general public, it would be useful to see that a relevant body, such as the EPA, has taken the appropriate actions concerning the 200 bodies of water that have not been appropriately dealt with. The section 63 process has worked well. I refer in particular to Belgooly, in my part of the world, where the EPA worked efficiently and competently by invoking section 63, which remedied the problem. There is a great use for that process and I want to see it used more often on the ground. That is the point I wish to make. It would be helpful if the EPA provided that information to the committee.
