Certainly.
The policy intention under this element of the act is that if there's an incident that exceeds the liability limit in Canada, the minister may call on the convention to draw supplemental funds from other countries. In the drafting, we referenced the domestic liability limit, which is a billion dollars, which is also the amount that will be registered in the convention. It makes perfect sense and is reasonable today. Should we ever increase that limit in the future, for example, after the five-year review by the government of the day determines that the limit should be a billion and a half dollars, we will be inconsistent with the international convention when we can call on it, because the call is made when we exceed our domestic amount. Because we are referencing the domestic amount, not the amount that we ratified, we will have a gap.
It's to avoid a future problem should the liability limit increase, which is part of the review process of the bill.
