Does the department provide any advice? Does Environment Canada provide any advice to the minister when she asks if this is the right course of action to take?
What we heard from Eagle Spirit and the other indigenous groups was that if it's so bad, maybe the ban should be everywhere, or if it's good for some, it should be good for them too.
You can see that we as a committee are trying to use science, and we know that's an important term for government to use, yet we're throwing up our hands on this question.
I have one final question. I think I might have time. You mentioned the size of a tanker. I've read some information on the size of a tanker. Does Environment Canada do any modelling using 12,500 tonnes, which is the number in the bill? What would that look like if there were a disaster, versus a much larger amount of diesel fuel if it were, God forbid, to spill? Was any modelling done to say diesel is fine, but persistent oils are not so fine?
