[Comment] It is noteworthy to mention the increased cancer rates in occupations where these pigments and chemically similar pigments, are used or manufactured. There is the refinish market where sanding has to be done, possibly under less than optimum conditions. Several safe replacements have been readily available for many years. Safe alternatives to these pigments should be identified, assessed and pursued by the government. [Response] 
The results of Challenge assessments and management actions may have an impact on occupational health practices in the workplace. The practices are often developed and enforced by provincial governments, as well as the federal government where federal labour laws apply. For these reasons, we are exploring how best to inform organizations involved in occupational health/workplace safety of the findings of Challenge assessments and the risk management actions recommended. The Challenge often represents the most up to date assessment of a substance and therefore we intend ensure this information is shared as widely as possible to enable appropriate risk management actions to be taken by these organizations. These risk management actions could include replacement by an alternative where appropriate.
