Through you to Mr. Woodworth, Chair, he suggested—and I'm surprised, I'm not sure—when we heard the testimony from the international shipowners and from the Canadian Maritime Law Association, there was never an acknowledgment by any expert.... Sorry, there were points made that I think many of us were trying to help elucidate about the conflict between international treaty obligations and domestic law. At no time, if I recall the testimony and comments and questions, was there a consensus here that there was a conflict. Now in the submission of amendment G-3.1, I understand from Mr. Woodworth that this is to correct conflicts between treaty law implemented in Canada and domestic legislation. Is that right?
