I would again ask for the clerk's advice on the scope of this particular study, because a lot of the regulations, etc., with respect to the safety of cargo handling, etc., would fall into Transport Canada, whereas of course the response is clearly an issue that would come to this committee in terms of the activities of the Canadian Coast Guard and the liaison with community groups up and down the coast.
It would be a shame to see a worthy study like this ruled out of order by the Speaker if we've strayed too far into somebody else's mandate. A reading of this or an opinion by the clerk might be useful at this point.
