I think Bill C-3 as it stands is good.

I had a long discussion yesterday with the HNS panel, Captain Houston's panel, and it focused very much on a couple of concerns. One was that, as I mentioned earlier, a lot of the substances are carried on container vessels and we need to ensure we have the capability to deal with an incident in a Canadian port, should one occur.

The second part of that is ensuring that we, as Canada, set a leading example for providing ports of refuge for vessels that might be involved in this type of an incident.
