I need additional information. In the margin of clause 2 of the bill is written “declaration.” Is it a declaration that summarizes the spirit of the bill or the spirit of the whole transportation policy?
I see that we want to add many words such as “respects the environment” and “safety and security” but I don’t think we find those words in the bill. I find it inconsistent to talk about respect for the environment when it is not mentioned anywhere in the bill.
Can we permit ourselves a great big declaration of principle without dwelling on it too much afterward? In that case, I would agree to the idea of adding many similar terms. I would like to know what meaning a declaration at the beginning of a bill has.
