I think that is a lovely note on which to conclude those sets of questions.
Normally when we have only one panel in this committee we tend to wrap up around now. Do I have the consent of the committee to do that?
Some hon. members: Agreed.
Mr. Ron Cannan: Thanks for building these relationships.
The Vice-Chair (Ms. Chrystia Freeland): There you go.
On behalf of all of us here, thank you very much to all of our witnesses. As usual, it was great to hear from Mr. Hodgson, but I think it was particularly inspiring for all of us to hear from these great Canadian entrepreneurs.
An hon. member: Hear, hear.

Okay, thank you very much.
I have a question, again for you, Mr. Williams, and also for Mr. Cartmill. I think it probably doesn't apply to Ms. Malo so much.
This is on your comments about credit for your export work and how hard it is to get from Canadian banks and also Canadian government institutions. Based on your practical experience, what could we do to make that a little easier?
Mr. Williams, you could maybe go first.

Okay, thank you very much.
My next question is for the three witnesses.
Last Monday, we heard other witnesses say that there was a problem, since Canadians can have only one passport. That is a challenge for entrepreneurs who have to travel a lot for their work.
Would it help you to have two Canadian passports?
We heard from some of our witnesses on Monday that it's a real barrier to business to only be able to have one passport. They know that if people in other jurisdictions, for example in Britain, need to have two passports because of travel, they can get a second one.
Would that be useful?

I think the comment from our witnesses was that they travel to countries where it takes a long time to get a visa. If one of your passports is in the embassy, you are blocked from travelling during that period.
I wonder if Mr. Williams and Mr. Cartmill encounter that.

—some of these export areas, agricultural technologies to Kazakhstan.
I want to start by saying thank you so much to all the witnesses here today. As MPs we can sometimes lose sight of why we're here and what we're doing in Ottawa. Even though we've had a broken-up set of conversations with you, I have to say that for me, and I'm sure it's true for everybody else on the committee, hearing your stories of the innovative entrepreneurial work you're doing and how ambitiously you are breaking into world markets from across the country is incredibly inspiring. I think it is the view of the whole committee that it is our job to make your lives easier, ladies and gentlemen, and we are so committed to doing that. You guys are what makes Canada great, and I'm proud to be here to listen to you.
Specifically, I was very interested in the point about having two passports for people who travel for business. I was an editor at the Financial Times for many years, and British journalists can get two passports.
Is this something the other witnesses think would be a good idea? Is it a problem you have encountered?

It seems like a small thing. Maybe we could get all-party agreement on it. Maybe it could be one of our recommendations, a really specific, concrete small thing we could do.
Another very specific thing that I think Mr. Deveau mentioned was greater ease in getting visas for potential clients, investors, and people who are coming to Canada.
Can you expand on that a little bit?

This is a question for Ms. Kehler.
One thing this committee is going to be talking about—I hope we'll get around to it—is the free trade agreement between Canada and Ukraine. That's something there's a lot of support for in this whole Parliament.
You talked about Kazakhstan. Have you considered doing business with Ukraine, and would you consider it even in these turbulent times there?

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
The dominant fact today about the oil industry and therefore pipeline safety is the fact that it's experiencing a sudden and rather deep downturn.
Do you have any concerns that the economic pressures the oil industry is facing might have an impact on pipeline safety and on the ability of companies to meet some of these financial demands laid out in the act?

As I understand it, the bill would set up a consolidated revenue fund that would be available to pay for claims that a company is unable to satisfy in the event of a catastrophic spill. Is that right?

Mr. Labonté, in one of your answers you referred to the fact that this comes as part of a broader universe of different forms of transport and safety levels of those different forms of transport. That was especially interesting to me because in my riding of Toronto Centre there is very heightened concern about rail safety because of the rail line that passes through this very dense urban riding.
Could you give us a sense of how the safety measures set out here for pipelines compare with the level of safety and regulation for transport by rail? Have you thought about it in the context of that bigger puzzle?

I'd like to follow up on some of the questions that Monsieur Caron and Ms. Charlton were asking specifically about the three-year time limit.
Let's imagine a situation in which the billion-dollar limit has been reached and then, after the three years, new claims arise. How would those claimants be covered?

But I thought I just understood from the first part of the answer that, if I made a claim after the three years, I would be okay because negligence had already been established, and now I'm understanding that's not the case.

I'll go back to Ms. Charlton's point about volumetrics versus type of goods.
Again, in my riding, on rail safety, my constituents are extremely concerned about certain types of oil being transported by rail, especially in their case the Bakken. Are there any particular types of oil transported in pipelines that you are particularly concerned about? I heard your arguments about volumetrics being the best metric, but is there something which there should be a special level of scrutiny around?

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to start with Mr. Walker. Thank you very much for being here. I'm a big believer in impact investing in the B corp movement and I'm delighted to have you speak to all of us. If you could pass on my best wishes, and I think those of the committee, to Mr. Emery, who I know can't be here because there's been a death in his community.
I would like you to talk a bit more about B corp legislation. You've said that the B corp movement is doing well in Canada already without that legislation. What difference does legislation make? Why is that something we should care about?
