Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for that question because it gets to the nub of it.
We cannot simply use liability as a way to deal with companies working in these conditions offshore, or in the marine conditions around Canada, for that matter. We need to provide a network of regulation, infrastructure and policy that would ensure that what is happening in our marine waters is happening in the best possible fashion. That would also require international co-operation. We need to put that together. In the Arctic, we now have the opportunity with the Arctic Council to do that.
I certainly hope the minister who is sitting as chair of the Arctic Council will push forward with safe shipping practices for the Arctic.
