Absolutely.
Just in terms of this being the whole question of expediency, further on in the legislation, as we heard from our witnesses today, the establishment of the tribunal and getting the money out the door is not hindered at all by its intention on NDP-5. The money can still move. The government can make those compensation cheques. With the proving of negligence, the $650 million would still be available with this amendment in the bill.
All that this would suggest is that it would present a question to the court, asking if it should be more. It can't present it to ask if it should be less or slowed down. Not imagined, not intentioned. In terms of moving money quickly out the door for victims after a nuclear accident, absolutely. All this commission would do is to say whether more money should be made available.
That's all. The $650 million and the reinsurance account and all of that is already afforded. That's proven in sections 57, 58, and beyond in the bill. That doesn't get modified by this change at all. All this says is that if they're proven negligent, should the company be more on the hook for more money? We believe they should.
