My question was, has the department done an evaluation of this? The oil spill response centre was closed in British Columbia. We have now lost any access west of the Ottawa River. The environmental emergencies program—the minister did admit on Wednesday morning that every few days staff from the environmental emergencies programs are called on site to spills. Was there any sort of evaluation done before that program was shut down in British Columbia, so there is no oil spill response from the federal government?
On May 17th, 2012. See this statement in context.
