Thank you, Madame Chair. I just want to make two points before I ask questions. I want to thank the finance committee for punting this over with respect to division 22 on the Canada Shipping Act and division 23 on the Marine Liability Act simply because they are relevant to this committee and we're trying to get as much input as we can. The legislative objective, of course as we all know, is to better protect our marine environments while trying to balance out economy that utilizes our marine environments. Second to that is to put an emphasis on prevention response and liability and compensation.
With that, I have a question for Mr. Burrows.
Mr. Burrows, we've known each other for quite some time, you and I, throughout the government but as well through Transport Canada. The relationship you have with Transport Canada is quite robust. Do you consider the Chamber of Marine Commerce to have good consultative communication on an ongoing basis with Transport Canada?
