Madam Chair, I looked at the focus of the meeting, and I would put forward that it falls within the same thinking I presented around Mr. Bratina's bill. It seemed to me that they wanted to focus on issues of water security, water management, and that sort of thing. While I know that's an important issue, it is something that in Canada falls under the jurisdiction of the provinces and municipalities. I'm not sure if there's anything else they would like to discuss with us as a transportation committee, unless it's about navigation, and I'm not sure where they were going in their request.
