Thank you.
In this case, clearly the new regulatory powers have no impact in a situation such as the one that I described. I regret, once again, that this situation wasn't taken into account. It happened once in my area and we don't want it to happen anywhere else. However, given the growth of marine transportation, we can't think that nothing of this nature would happen in Canada.
The review of the act must make it possible to resolve this issue. We've missed the mark yet again.
I'm still concerned about the fact that we need to provide a response by Friday, even though the consultations aren't over. Some people believe that they haven't been sufficiently consulted. I look forward to hearing from the witnesses who will be appearing over the next two hours. I'm wondering whether these people, who are directly affected by the two acts on a daily basis, had the time to respond after the budget was tabled. If they tell me that they haven't had time to respond, I'll be even more concerned.
I'll stop here for now.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
