Based on what we've heard from all the witnesses--you folks--today, and in Saskatchewan's and Alberta's proposals about some of the things that are happening in their provinces, I think there are certainly ways to turn this problem into an opportunity. We look at the advances we're making, how we're dealing with specified risk material versus how the United States is doing so. There's an opportunity from a marketing point of view. There's an opportunity from an energy and waste disposal point of view. We need to seize that, and all players need to help in that regard.
Mr. Chair, I think the key is, based on what we heard from the industry, that someone has to be in charge and somebody has to be responsible. I take it that it should be the federal minister. I'd like to hear the provinces' point of view on that.
We do get into shared jurisdiction--we understand that--but there's a lot of authority in the federal minister's office, if he wants to use it, in terms of pushing these files along, and we'd expect that to be done.
