Thank you, Chair. I appreciate that.
I want to continue on this, recognizing that I don't have drilling time but may have a little bit of probing time.
Picking up on the excellent questions of Mr. Harvey, I'm still concerned, given that we're talking about billions of dollars here, and that there's a transfer of debt going on between....
Is anybody there, as the financial people who are the macro-eyes for us, concerned about this as a growing concern? I know I am. I can give you examples in Hamilton of how situations are arising in which land is polluted, and then suddenly it becomes a question of whose problem it is. Since it's supposed to be a case of “polluter pays”, I want to hear a little bit more about this. I would think this is a growing problem, and since we're talking about billions of dollars of debt that Canadians are assuming they didn't incur, I just don't want to let it go so easily.
Mr. Matthews, it looked as though you were ready to say something, sir.
