Thank you.
I know there's been an assessment of the extent of pollution from a major oil spill. And I think modelling may have been done by Environment Canada that showed that at a certain time of the year, with certain weather conditions, a single oil spill could foul the coastline from the tip of Vancouver Island to the southern tip of Alaska. That's the worst-case scenario.
As the agency responsible for responding, I notice that the standard here is 72 hours to have equipment in place to respond to a pollution event of over 10,000 tonnes of oil, which is one-quarter of the Exxon Valdez and just a fraction of what could happen with a panamax or a major supertanker. In 72 hours, how much could that oil already be fouling the beaches, the inlets, and the environment? How far would that oil travel in 72 hours, with a major wind?
