Thank you very much, Ms. Crockatt. I would be happy to answer that question.
You will know that the bill includes a provision around absolute liability. There's a $1-billion absolute liability limit that would apply to companies operating one or more pipelines that, individually or in the aggregate, have the capacity to transport at least 250,000 barrels of oil per day. Certainly my understanding is that Keystone XL would exceed that amount, so the absolute liability limit would apply.
Indeed, other provisions in the bill would also require the company to maintain financial resources at a minimum to meet its absolute liability limit. It's the law of general application. But the provisions are quite clear: those companies that meet the threshold will have that $1-billion absolute liability limit apply.
I would also add, because I know that it's been a point of some discussion in the media and elsewhere, that the bill provides for that $1-billion absolute liability limit for companies that meet that threshold, but it provides for the development of regulations to establish absolute liability limits for every other pipeline company that the NEB regulates.
