Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I welcome our witnesses here this morning. I'm looking forward to hearing from all our witnesses in this three-hour study of this section of the bill.
Are the changes to the Canada Shipping Act and the Marine Liability Act part of the government's commitments under the oceans protection plan? You probably already answered that when you said this is part of a very long consultation period.
The official consultation period for the OPP potential legislative changes concluded on Friday, October 26. Is that correct?
