I'm not asking for blame. I'm just trying to get a sense of how it is that we are in the eleventh hour, just before going clause-by-clause, and you're raising fundamental problems here with the legal regime inherent in this bill. You're telling us we don't know what will take precedence: domestic law, as through the amendments of Bill C-16, or international conventions?
I'm trying to find out why this even got here without Justice Canada and the largest law firm in the country having solved these problems before this arrived. We've heard from Ms. Arsoniadis Stein that there are measures here that fall outside the ambit even of international comparisons, that other domestic regimes don't have similar measures, that this is going to have a serious net impact on investment in shipping in this country. We're then hearing from you that this is a mismatch of different attempts to cobble something together under tough environmental laws. I'm not sure what the theme is. We're now finding out before going to clause-by-clause next Tuesday that, in fact, it's incoherent.
What has to be done to correct the bill?
