In this case, I would like to indicate that in the drafting of the bill and in the contents we see before us, the expertise of the offshore regulators and their very sound regulatory practices have been pulled into the language of the bill, but it also makes the necessary changes to reflect the specific needs of offshore renewables.
The regulator has the same mandate to evaluate all aspects of safety and the environment that I talked about previously—the environmental protection of proposed projects—as it does for petroleum projects, while recognizing that the technologies will be different.
Again, the essence of the opposition to this piece is that the contents of the bill as stated already address what's being proposed in this amendment.
