Madam Chair, I am, with all due respect, a little shocked with the comments of my colleague, Luc Berthold. To the best of my knowledge, I know that these witnesses weren't consulted earlier.
Having said that, I do want to switch to the NPA's opt-in, opt-out program. That's what I've been zeroing in on, because I really feel that it demonstrates the uncertainties with the legislation.
The NPA prevents granting owners of works on non-scheduled waters the ability to opt out of the NPA regime after five years of the amendments coming into force. Do you know of any works that have taken this opportunity, and how in your view, would navigable waters be threatened by opting out?
Andrea, we'll start with you.
