Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd really like to thank the witnesses.
I'd like to particularly thank you, Mr. Siddon, for your thoughtful, important testimony. Both you and Mr. Simard spoke to history teaching hard lessons, reminding us that prevention, having a good environmental legislative framework, is our best line of defence, and that, even with that, you want to reduce the risk. Worst-case scenarios do happen. I think the bill shows the complete failure to learn from the past, whether it's the Exxon Valdez or it's Horizon; cutting environmental legislation can result in dire consequences.
Mr. Siddon, we agree with you. This is an affront to democracy. This should be hived off. It should have been sent to the environment committee to study, to those who have the proper expertise.
Would you agree that should happen?
