The status as a certified response organization is currently a designation that is given by the Minister of Transport. Once you have that designation you have the liability that's needed. The ability to extend that to say that if a certified response organization is looking to others to join them in a response effort.... They don't have the extension of that same civil or criminal liability, and to get it at this point, technically they'd need a designation from the minister, which is a cumbersome process.
Is that a fair understanding of how it works?
