I appreciate the comments of my colleague. This is a harmonization of Canadian and U.S. law, and I should say that this is not necessarily a contribution to international law. There is no similar legislation that would be widely adopted in other countries. It is quite the opposite. U.S. and Canadian law in this respect would be rather unique, but we have to recognize that this is the geographical situation that our ship suppliers face. Because they often supply to the same ships, it is important that they have similar tools and a similar position in terms of enforcing their rights.
With that, Mr. Chair, I think I will finish the policy part of this presentation and leave it to my colleague, Mr. Gauthier, who is a lawyer and who is well positioned to deal with the next three items, which are largely legal in nature. Thank you.
