I want to thank all the witnesses here today. Regrettably, in this 800-clause bill, where the government refused to divide it, you are the first witnesses who are talking about this part of the bill, so there is a big onus on you. I appreciate all the specific proposals for amendments.
I have lots of questions, but I only have six minutes, unfortunately.
Professor Bankes, it's great to have you here. You're certainly high on my list of recommended witnesses. You've done great work in Alberta and continue to do so.
My question is quite different from what other people might be looking at, and it's the part on certificates for designated international power lines. I know you're probably well aware of the arguments over the MATL line, which went through southern Alberta and was built for export. I understand that there's still ongoing litigation on the constitutionality of it and that the NEB did not get involved in that. Do you think that part of the bill is clarifying it? It simply says that the commission may make recommendations and that the federal entity might get involved in those approvals.
Have you looked at that part of the bill at all?
