I guess that's the crux of the amendment on clause 17. It's that trust in the speed.
You've just described a confidence that the authorities will have enough prescience and speed on the ground to be able to issue those orders, to bring in the contractors. I know what you're trying to avoid, which is kind of like the wild west, where people are out doing all kinds of things that might do more harm than good in the end.
I guess why I feel certain that individual actions should be included in this is that a judge or a tribunal is also going to make the determination of the compensable damage. If somebody goes out and does something wrong that causes harm, obviously a judge is going to look at that as well and say that person will not be compensated for something that ended up making matters worse. I suspect it's going to happen anyway, frankly. I don't think everybody living near a nuclear reactor, if they hear about an incident, is going to say that because of clause 17 in Bill C-20, they're not going out with their backhoe to do anything because they're not going to be compensated for it.
I think if folks hear about a contamination or a leak and if something's happening, they may seek to go do it anyway. Under the act as it's written right now under clause 17, they are specifically excluded from taking any mitigative actions.
