I thank Dr. Minihan for that, but that is alarming. Bells should be ringing. We now have pesticides in our water systems. I look forward to that report, and I think we as a committee look forward to it. I thank Dr. Minihan for the indication that it is coming this week. This is alarming, however. We talk to oncologists and researchers about this. In our country, our food chain and our human health are impacted by pesticides in our water systems, and that is really scary. It would be great if the witnesses could share as much information as possible because we need transparency on this issue. This is the most alarming thing about the consumption of water in the State, and we need possibly to revisit this on some future date.
