Of course.
We did consult on this measure. We consulted with Canada Revenue Agency on the development of this measure, and they provided the opinion that under the existing law cable laying does not qualify as international shipping. They would have knowledge of their interactions with the cable-laying company that came before this committee.
As well, we published the rules for public consultation on July 12, 2013. We received extensive comments, as part of the consultation process, from interested stakeholders.
If you look at the version that was published for public consultation and the current draft of the bill, we did take a lot of those comments into consideration, and they really did change the rules. We had initial consultation internally and then a public consultation later at which we did receive and incorporate feedback.
