Mr. Chairman, I'd just like to respond to the honourable member's point with a couple of views.
One, we learned to live with the SLA and manage it as an industry. It was a complicated agreement too, put in place in order to meet U.S. demands. We've learned to deal with the vagaries of the legal decisions over the last four years that create opportunities with no duties and windows. That's certainly not security.
We view this as a planning horizon that has better opportunities than either of those, and in fact if we are able to build our structure around it and understand the rules, then we will learn how to play by them. We can't play by a system that changes with every legal decision.
In terms of what has been said, this is better than the alternative. Certainly we don't like retroactivity, but on the other hand, there was a debate within the industry as to whether retroactive was better than prospective, and there were companies in the east that supported retroactivity for option A. So I wouldn't put forward that it was a black and white case, even on that one.
