I appreciate that. It does seem that with the amendment we just voted on, we've expanded the breadth of reasons for which the minister would direct a vessel beyond traditionally defined security to include environmental security, human health and community well-being—so a broader definition of security.
I'm wondering whether there is language we could add to this amendment that would allow for really exceptional circumstances, for instance, to say something like “to remain outside of the area described in the schedule” or “outside of any other area specified by the minister, except in cases where no other safe option exists” or “except in cases where the minister believes”. I think “believes” is the word that's used elsewhere in the act. At the risk of wordsmithing, this is where I'm going with my thinking around these exceptional circumstances. I don't think anyone on the coast would want the minister to avoid directing a vessel to a parking lot to deal with an emergency in those extreme cases, but the idea here is to indicate that there are certain areas into or through which people don't want the minister directing ships unless there's no other option.
