Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This particular amendment tries to tie in a person who has a contractual relationship with the shipowner or the contractor, one or the other. We saw when the Canadian Bar Association and the marine liabilities organization came forward that this could be an improvement, in that if you have a claim, you can improve on it provided you can demonstrate that you have a contractual relationship with one or the other.
If one accepts that premise, then this particular amendment does accomplish the tying of that relationship.
