I'll just address one point very briefly. I think it is extremely exaggerated to say that this principle of public ownership of resources with no automatic right of compensation would be an immense blow to the Canadian economy, when for public reasons--including both pro-development and controlling development for environmental and other reasons when property rights are amended--the Canadian economy and our natural resource economy has operated that way for over a century. Governments and companies normally act reasonably toward each other. They have a mutual interest in developing these resources.
We are currently operating under these rules. It's the excessive, open-ended version of property rights under NAFTA that is beginning to destabilize those understandings.
I'll leave Mr. McMahon some time to respond.
