Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to share my time with Mr. Van Kesteren.

I just have one question for you, Mr. Saunders.

In your opening comments you mentioned that you weren't sure that potential marine tanker exports from coastal lakes and rivers would not be covered.

I'm having a hard time understanding that, because the definition of bulk removal prohibits any bulk removal “by any means” of water amounting to more than 50,000 litres per day. The exception is for manufactured products.
