Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to the witnesses for appearing before us today.
First, I want to say that my understanding is that if the government were to move forward with the convention, it would have to bring forward legislation to do so. In that case, I presume it would come to this committee and we'd have a chance to review it at that point. We may be doing that, perhaps. We'll see.
The committee has heard today and previously that other jurisdictions have well over $1 billion in liability limits. I'd like some comments on the level in this bill, particularly from Mr. Lees and Mr. Elston. How does the level of $650 million in this bill reflect what's happening elsewhere?
Secondly, what would be the implications of setting the liability limit at $1.2 billion, for example, as we've seen in some places? What would that mean for the nuclear sector, for operators, for the public, and for public safety in particular?
