Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses, as always, for being here and delivering such complete comments.
I want to just try to clarify a few of the things that have been said so that those who may not be familiar with the entirety of the issue and the history will understand.
The first thing I want to know is, in the absence of this bill, and as things presently stand, other than the usual assessment processes, are there any legal restrictions even on something like drilling on this island?
