Essentially, the way part 1 of this bill has been designed, we have tried to put in place all the rules that are necessary to the proper functioning of the fuel charge. As I mentioned last time I was here, this is a new charge, a new area, and something the government doesn't have a lot of experience with.
These regulatory powers are there basically to allow the government to be in a position to address issues that may arise. When people start complying and the CRA starts administering this, they may discover certain situations where the result may not be what was intended in terms of policy. These regulatory powers allow the Governor in Council to make some amendments to fix those particular situations.
At this point, we don't envisage any of those particular situations needing to be fixed by those powers, but the nature of the instrument is such that when people start to comply, they may have questions and issues may be raised. A technical adjustment to the legislation may be required.
