Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.
I agree with him that there is some improvement in the polluter pays principle, but we are only halfway there. Nonetheless, one of the troubling aspects of this bill is that low-capacity pipelines, the ones that move less than 250,000 barrels of oil a day, are not covered by the liability. That is troubling because that type of pipeline, often in small sections, is the most common in or near urban centres.
Why was this type of lower-volume pipeline not included in the same way as higher-volume pipelines?
