Mr. Chairman, I note that we had started to have some reasonable discussion about this. It is a very urgent issue, it's imminent, and it's current. While I had some reservations, given the timetable that's unfolding very quickly before us, I thought at the very least we ought to be able to refer it over to the steering committee and establish a timeline for discussing it.
As I indicated the other day, it is very topical. The Minister of Transport, if he doesn't have the line responsibility, at the very least is implicated in all the decisions in establishing a plan. I think the committee would be remiss if it weren't seized of the importance of the matter, especially with respect to its environmental implications and its financial implications, which obviously will have a large impact on the economy, not only locally, but as we've seen from further down south, not only hemispherically but globally.
So I commend Mr. Bevington for bringing the issue back up again, and my apologies to our witnesses, who came here to speak about something else, but I think the motion should at least be entertained in steering committee. Obviously we can't do it today, so I'd support it going to steering committee.
