I apologize for the noisy nature of our consultation. We were consulting with our advisers.
The offences and penalties language is not only the standard language found in the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, but it's also found in the Species At Risk Act. In other words, we're not trying to create a new system of incentives, funds, or anything else; we're simply trying to make the penalties consistent with other environmental legislation. It is not a creative section. It doesn't do anything new. It simply repeats the offences and penalties that are found in other established acts.
