Just to add, we know the Nathan E. Stewart ran aground and spilled diesel fuel into the traditional waters of the Heiltsuk Nation. Some first nation leaders are describing that as an environmental disaster. Recently in The Globe and Mail there were details of how only two MCTS officers were responsible for monitoring that vast stretch of B.C.'s coast from north Vancouver Island to the Alaska border, including the inside passage.
B.C. has been promised a world-class spill response; however, prevention is far less expensive. I'm wondering if the ministry is going to reconsider, or is reconsidering the reopening of MCTS Comox to help prevent these disasters.
