Chair, this proposed amendment that is being brought before us today would strike out proposed paragraph 14(3)(h.2). I would wonder why such an amendment would be brought forward when it concerns the National Energy Board's capabilities in making recommendations to the minister. I'm just wondering if the officials here could give us some clarification on why proposed paragraph 14(3)(h.2) is there and why it may or may not make sense to remove that discretion from the minister.
