Transport committee  It would be huge, I can tell you that. There is a per barrel rate that I don't remember. Right away I could just multiply this for you, but I can find out. I'm trying hard to get a study going to do just that, because it's important to have that information. Regarding your earli

Transport committee  The answer is no, there isn't any. I have been trying to get a study going in that respect, but there is no study of which I am aware, no.

Transport committee  I talked about the cost of cleanup and the response if something were to happen. That is the piece I'm still struggling with. As I said, the current total coverage is well below some of the potential costs that would come. The question is how we cover that. This has been discusse

Transport committee  No, I think it's about $380 million at the moment, according to the data I have, so, no.

Transport committee  Usually to make that comparison you have to compare with countries that Canada likes to compare itself with. You wouldn't want to compare Canada to Nigeria, for example, right? That would not work because their system is completely crazy. If I think of the U.S., which is the clo

Transport committee  I've been reading a lot about all that they are trying to do to make it safer. You have the double hull and all those things, so there's a big effort to improve that. That is good. That will reduce the chances of spills, I think. That is also good. In our report, the one we did

Transport committee  All I can say is that when you have international cooperation in things like this, it's always a good thing because then you can move resources very quickly and try to come together to solve the problem. It's a good initiative. That's what I can say.

Transport committee  Yes, I want to comment on this. It's important to check the data and the history to see if we can find one, but I think we should also think about the future, because that is what this is about, right? Even if we don't find any that have cost up to $200 million to date, that do

Transport committee  Thank you very much for inviting me to come here. It's always a pleasure for us in the universities to come and share some of the ideas and the research outcomes with high-level leaders like you. Thank you for that. I am a professor of ocean and fisheries economics at the Univer

Fisheries committee  If what Marc says is true...and I believe conservation is a strong reason, but whether trade is not part of the game at all is another issue altogether. But if conservation is a strong thing--and Canada really stands for conservation, at least in the acts and all that we read--th

Fisheries committee  It's available in public. I actually sent material; it's just that it came a bit late. So you will get translations of this and references to the work.

Fisheries committee  You know, the WTO initially started mainly about trade, but then slowly the sustainability issue came in, and I think it's very strong and powerful now. They need to conserve our fishery resources through time, yes.

Fisheries committee  At the moment, if I am to put the two together, it would be difficult to say, but at least fifty-fifty. Conservation has become very important in recent years.

Fisheries committee  Aquaculture is not, as far as I can tell.

Fisheries committee  In terms of fisheries, aquaculture is not a part. I don't know for sure, but I believe subsidies to aquaculture will be captured in other sectors, like in the agricultural sector it is. So for the trade side there has to be something on aquaculture too.
