Mr. Chair, again, this is consistent with the majority of environmental statutes that have been passed by the federal government. Clearly this legislation deals with potential massive environmental and human impacts. It's only reasonable. The government, since first coming forward with these bills, each time has raised the liability, but in many people's perspective not high enough. We still don't know what the costs of Fukushima will ultimately be. Anything could happen in the next five to ten years. We think that it's reasonable, similar to other environmental statutes, that the minister be required to undertake an independent review of the statute and to cause a report to be tabled in the House based on whether or not we think that the changes as they're made suit public interest.
