Thanks to all of you for being here. I've enjoyed your testimony.
I think this bill's heart is in the right place, without a doubt. I think we've heard several people testify that they agree with this: that all Canadians deserve to have a sound and clean environment. However, I think there's been a lot of discussion on clause 23, the judicial remedies. I think that's where a lot of the concern is from all the witnesses today, so I want to give an example and then have some comments from you about my example.
Yesterday, in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, which is in my riding, the Minister of National Defence and I announced an undersea cable project that will connect tidal power generators to the Nova Scotia power grid. It was a $20-million announcement. It was the largest announcement from our green fund for any project across the country.
As for the capacity of the cable—and Mr. van't Hof, you'll understand a lot of the technical details more than I will—it is a 64-megawatt cable. It eventually will be able to produce enough power to power at least 20,000 homes. That's enough to power almost every household in my riding.
Could you see Bill C-469 potentially having a negative impact on the progress of this project?
