Thank you very much for being here today.
I think what Canadians want from us more than anything is just to ensure that we're developing our resources in a safe and secure way. We all share that goal around the table.
You know that Canadians' confidence in our system isn't exactly at an all-time high, particularly with respect to the transport through tankers, rail, and pipelines. I don't think any of them enjoy the majority support of Canadians. I know pipelines do a little better than tankers and rail, but we have a lot of work to do to get Canadians to feel secure about the way that we're developing and transporting our natural resources.
I notice in the deck you say that the bill strengthens Canada's world-class pipeline safety system by implementing new prevention measures.
I don't actually see very many prevention measures in this bill, save and except I suppose the reference to the polluter pay principle, which I suppose would have a deterrent effect on companies. Apart from deterrence, I wonder whether you could highlight for me what those robust prevention measures are that we find in this bill.
