Thank you, Mr. Grégoire.
Yes, there is another large component of the world-class tanker safety system, which goes to a number of supporting science issues. I'll mention four briefly.
First of all, we received some funding, which has largely been spent now, to improve the charts in the areas of the west coast where development might be anticipated. That work is very largely complete. We'll be wrapping that up in the current year. That's the first item.
The second item is that in the same area we are doing some work in association with Environment Canada to improve our capacity to model the movement of water masses in that area. It's a dynamic oceanographic modelling exercise that is important for us to develop in order to help project where a spill in the water may go and when, so that can be informative of efforts to deal with and recover those products.
In association with that, we are putting some significant resources into our research facility, which is actually on the east coast. It's at the Bedford Institute but is established nationally to do research related to the “fate and behaviour” of oils in the marine ecosystem, the marine environment. In particular in this case, we're focusing on the diluted bitumen—dilbit—products that might be at issue in that development. We're doing a number of trials of how bitumen behaves and what happens to it over time in a range of environmental conditions that are common on the west coast.
The last item, and it's a fairly large one, is to do what we call resource inventory. Really, this is code for us collecting all of the information that we have about resources and resource-based activities on the west coast, and to organize that, see the gaps, and fill some of the key gaps so we'll have a very organized information base that we can use to help provide advice on the design and implementation of the project.
