Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to respond to a comment that Mr. Strahl made with respect to a better avenue. I think for the most part that better avenue, although it would refer to the Canada Shipping Act.... Again, there's a bit of redundancy to this, as navigational constraints would be enforced by Transport Canada. We understand that.
I do want to emphasize something I talked about last meeting. That is, with all due respect to the members from British Columbia—we can look at Taylor's riding, Joyce's riding, Elizabeth's riding and to some extent Mr. Strahl's—we take into consideration that we all get phone calls from our residents, and I'm sure you get a lot of phone calls about this issue.
Once again, Mr. Chairman, I want to reiterate the fact that we will be supporting this amendment being put forward by the NDP.
