Sean Fraser at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I'll move to our guests from Prince Rupert.

I'm curious about this threshold of 12,500 tonnes. We heard testimony and a recommendation previously that we knock that figure down substantially. I forget the precise figure. It was 3,200, 3,600, or something to that effect. The reasoning was based on the fact that this is the volume being transported on vessels now.

You made a comment about 12,500 tonnes making marine fuelling economical. Could you perhaps elaborate on whether this in fact is a good number? Are there dangers if we move down to that 3,000-odd tonne figure?
