I also am having trouble understanding this. I agree with the principle and spirit of clause 11, but I am wondering how we're actually going to implement it. Will we be able to consider a regulation tabled by the government providing for penalties where offences have been committed? In this case, we are left completely in the dark. Nor is it clear whether these penalties would apply under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. No reference is made to that legislation. I don't know whether it's by regulation that all of this will be defined later on, but it seems to me that some clarification or at least an answer is required.
