I'll only point out for the record, Mr. Chair, that we're opposed to this.
I asked our officials to look into the most expensive cleanup done under an HNS protocol, and it's a $60-million cleanup. We're talking about putting in place a regime that would offer—not paid by the taxpayers—up to $400 million currently, so we think the regime is sufficient.
Also, there was the question of justice. I'm pretty sure I appreciate that the NDP would like the oil companies to pay for everything, including for chemical companies, but this would open up access to a fund paid for by the oil companies without changing the regime of who pays into the fund, and how much chemical companies would pay into the fund. Simply opening up the fund without changing the structure of who would pay into it is not sufficient either, so we're opposed to it.
