Mr. Chairman, perhaps I could respond.
Mr. Fast, in response to that as well, I want to emphasize this again--I said it earlier. It would be a mistake to think that municipalities are trying to encourage a change for any other reason than what David has really done quite a good job in outlining. There's been no discussion whatsoever around our table about the environmental issue and trying to skirt around that. It's strictly a timeliness and a cost issue, and there needs to be a greater degree of coordination between navigable waters folks and the environmental folks.
I understand there is some discussion going on, and we've had those same conversations within our own provincial jurisdictions, with our respective departments of environment to make sure they're on side. So to us, I don't believe that's an issue at all.
