I'd like to ask the honourable member something. As I understand NDP‑13, it completely disregards prevention.
The language proposed by the Senate was good because it addressed the prevention side of things. An expert who appeared before the committee, Mr. Castrilli, said that preventing pollution was not currently mandatory. It's optional, so the benefit of what the Senate had proposed was that preventing pollution would become mandatory.
What are we trying to achieve at the end of the day? Do we want prevention or just control and management? I'd like to hear where the member stands on that.
