Okay, then with the nature of a nuclear contamination incident on soils or in water or on the environment in general, the length of time around cleanup could be quite extensive, if previous experience is a teacher. If not in clause 17, is there a measure within the bill that deals with environmental cleanup? I'm imagining that in either a court or a tribunal, perhaps that happens within a year or two years and a province or a cleanup agency comes forward and says “We've done $1 million or $100 million so far, but we haven't fixed it yet. We're still remediating. We estimate another $100 million to come.” If clause 17 deals only with the costs that have already been incurred, and you can't go to court twice on the same matter--or could you? I'm trying to imagine what the act would say if we had what would be a 20-year process but we wanted to get remediation money out the door to the folks who had already spent money. That has to be somewhat timely, I would imagine. I don't think the act imagines that timing. That is for courts and the tribunal. But what happens to cleanups after the court and tribunal decisions?
