I think it's a case of using a hammer where a scalpel is required.
The federal government has intervened by fining Teck, imposing several of the largest fines in Canadian history in terms of environmental fines, the biggest one being $60 million for thousands of infractions over several years, but it really appears that Teck takes this as just a cost of doing business. The amount of $60 million may sound like a lot, but it's a few days' worth of revenue for a corporation of that magnitude.
We need to get away from this.... We need punitive measures, but they need to be more constructive. Again I go back to the International Joint Commission and that sort of oversight that truly takes the importance of the entire watershed into consideration. That is critical.
Another piece I'd like to touch on is that what ends up on the land runs into the water, so it's critically important in places like the Elk Valley to ensure the protection of the terrestrial environment, since it influences so substantially the aquatic environment.
