Kelly Block at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for joining us today.

I don't have as much time as my other colleagues did, so I'll get right to the point. Given that this bill, Bill C-48, as was discussed in our last meeting and confirmed by departmental officials, does nothing to change the voluntary agreement that was put in place in 1985, and given that this current government has killed the northern gateway pipeline project, do you believe there is a pressing need for Bill C-48 today?

This is to either Ms. Brown or Mr. Bloomer.
