I think I understand the spirit of the amendment. The spirit would be to remove the ability of the board to make the recommendation. However, this part of the bill provides the ability to make regulations that would set in clear terms what the elements of a recommendation to reduce absolute liability would be based on. If you will, it's the criteria, and the determination of the framework around which the board will consider how it might make a recommendation to the minister to reduce the absolute liability provision in circumstances where it's clearly demonstrable.
The framework would allow for explaining how and why that might occur. It's a way of shaping, if you will, how a recommendation could be brought forward. We've already testified that we see this, in our estimation of it, as a fairly exceptional authority that would not be one that would be exercised quite frequently. It is the regulation-making authority that would, if you will, put the parameters around that.
