If I may, Mr. Iacono, I think one of the key aspects, which is why I brought it up in my remarks, is that we've traditionally had a separation around marine protection and risk planning. One of my concerns with this piece of legislation is that it actually doesn't encourage the integration of those two functions, both within the federal government and with affected stakeholders. There really is a need to do that. I believe it is the intention to do that under the oceans protection plan, but we haven't seen that yet. This is a key aspect of how we protect and manage our coasts.
