Natural Resources committee  Just very quickly, Mr. Chair, with the passing of the former prime minister, we were asked to remain in the House after question period to hear the speeches by all of the pertinent leaders and so forth, so if we have any qualms about the committees afterwards—all committees sched

Natural Resources committee  I'll be opposing Mr. Simard's amendment, as it would be redundant. The regulators' authorities are already clear in the bill.
