Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Pushor, thank you very much for being with the committee. You were here seven months ago and now you are back. Thank you; your input is vital.
It can be said in general that there is no environment without water. It is the key element, the basis for all life forms and for the quality of the environment. Obviously, water is essential. We have to be careful with it. When there are unfortunate leaks such as at the Kearl site, we want to measure the impact on the water immediately, because water affects everything else.
In the present case, I understand that you took action when the leak occurred.
What are your water testing protocols under normal circumstances around oil and gas operations?
