Proposed section 14 provides that “damage to property” is a compensable head of damage under this legislation. Non-use value is in fact a form of damage to property. It's damage to the property of the crown, whether it's the provincial crown or the federal crown.
Proposed section 18 deals with the reasonable costs of remedial measures to repair, reduce, or mitigate “environmental damage”.
Again, within Canada, in proposed section 18, and then in states outside Canada, they are both compensable heads of damage. The restriction is that the remedial measure has to be ordered by a competent authority.
While I did not hear Mr. Amos' intervention, I think I'm familiar with the general point he is making. My response would be that the bill you have before you does contemplate that a remedial measure for environmental harm is a compensable head of damage, both within Canada and outside Canada.
