Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To follow up on Mr. Julian's questions, first of all, I appreciate the fact that you're generally supportive of Bill C-3. I believe there's general consensus that this legislation should be moving forward.
I'll address the two key issues that you've raised. First of all, on the issue of the regulation of tolls by the minister, you had provided some suggested wording and made the statement that you felt the minister's hands wouldn't be tied at all. From the wording used on the toll issue, as I recall, you basically brought in the whole act, as opposed to just section 15. In other words, what you're suggesting is that no action would be taken by the Governor in Council that will adversely affect the commercial or financial viability of these facilities. You don't refer specifically to section 15; you refer to the legislation as a whole. And that would tie the minister's hands, not only on the issue of tolls, but when it comes to perhaps increasing security requirements, which have attendant costs, obviously.
If in fact there are going to be any revisions to this particular section, you're probably going to have to go back to the drawing board again and consult with ministerial staff and make sure that in fact the minister's hands are not tied.
Could I have a brief comment on that before I go to the second issue?
