Thank you.
I'm going to pick up on the idea of national versus local interest. My experience in talking to people about the port of Vancouver is that often the local interests have a real focus on environmental sustainability, and that is part of the objectives of this bill. This is one of the five main themes: the environmental sustainability of port infrastructure and operations. Also, I would say more broadly that the safety and security of the rail system are tied into environmental sustainability as well.
A second piece of this is that your organizations are very much subject to social licence: the support that there is for the operations. With transportation, whether it's shipping or rail, the public's social licence is a very important element.
I would like to get your thoughts about the degree to which this bill is doing what it is aiming to, which is increasing environmental sustainability, whether it's through supply chain efficiency or the preventing of spills and accidents. Do you feel that what it's doing is sufficient and are there are ways in which you see potential amendments to improve environmental sustainability through those kinds of improvements?
Mr. Hall, why don't we start with you?
