Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to hone in, Captain Brown, on part of your written brief. I'll recite the following from page 3:

On the west coast of Canada, through Western Canada Marine Response Corporation we have spill preparedness and response capability far in excess of that currently mandated by Transport Canada. Even so, the west coast marine sector has been actively supportive of a review and upgrading of capability in recognition that exceeding legislated compliance is not enough if the legislation itself is open to question.

Are you questioning the legislation?
