Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our guests for being here today. It has been very enlightening.
I want to come back quickly to the liability limit issue because I think there is some confusion on this, and I want to make sure that I have a clear understanding of it. In my understanding, it's the hazardous and noxious substances that are covered under this $185 million or, including the international fund, $400 million, which covers about 6,500 substances under the 2010 HNS protocol. In my understanding, that does not cover oil.
On the $400 million, we heard testimony a few weeks ago from the department that, to the best of their knowledge, there's never been an incident anywhere in the world that has cost even probably half that in cleanup, so the liability of $400 million seems to be a very reasonable level at this point in time.
I was wondering if each of you, or you, Ms. Legars, could speak specifically about that liability limit and, to your knowledge—and if anybody else has knowledge—about having incidents that would be even in excess of $200 million on the cleanup of any of these 6,500 substances covered under the HNS protocol.
