Marie McNair

Were there any surprises in that? Obviously, that list includes a lot that you would expect, but did anything pop out as unexpected?

I suggested earlier that we might want to contact Scottish Water and ask it to take the proposal on board and see whether it can work with Callum.

Thank you. Does anyone else have any comments or any information in that regard to pass on to the committee?

Good morning. Minister, do you have anything else to say regarding full compliance with the access to justice rules in the Aarhus convention? Is there a deadline for that? If not, are you able to put a deadline on that, or is it dependent on the feedback that you receive?

Good morning. Dr Christman, you mentioned in your opening speech that you are a supporter of an environmental court. Would you expand on why you think that we should have a dedicated court? Do you think that it would improve justice?

In response to a question that was put to the previous panel, reference was made to the environmental governance review—that was mentioned earlier, if I picked that up right. Do you have any details on when that review is likely to be concluded? Is that likely to happen next month?

Jamie Whittle, I do not want to put you on the spot, but do you have any further points?

For my next question, I go back to Dr Christman. You mentioned the 1,500 environmental courts across other countries. Do you have any examples of good practice that Scotland could use, and any other comments that you think would be helpful to the committee this morning?
