Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have three questions, actually, with respect to the spirit of the bill and some of the conversations, and very specifically to the clauses in the bill. The clause that deals with interprovincial trade and importation states, in general, that no dealer shall, for the purpose of sale or lease, ship an energy-using product from one province to another province, or import into Canada, unless the product complies with the standard.
The first thing is, are there any jurisdictional issues with respect to cross-provincial movement of these goods, and specifically, do the provinces and territories regulate any of these usages? That's my first question.
The second one is, why is this an issue? You talk about cross-provincial when this is a national standard. We're a national standard, yet you're talking.... How could someone actually move something across provinces if we get a national standard?
And the third one is, can you comment a little bit about the stockpiling change? It seems to me there are probably all kinds of people out there who'd probably want to try to save things, such as light bulbs, in their basements. I just want you to comment on the stockpiling provisions, if there's anything else in there.
