Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I had some questions about the accident that occurred off the western bank of the St. Lawrence River. Clearly, it's a large waterway that is deeply affected by the eddies originating from the estuary. Many ships need to be guided by pilots because some spots are obviously dangerous, especially around where I live, Île‑aux‑Coudres, in Charlevoix. The passage is very difficult for outside vessels that are not familiar with the sea there. My grandfather was a schooner captain, and he knew the river like the back of his hand, unlike the crews of foreign ships. What worries me is that the accident that occurred out west could happen to us as well.
Do you know how many incidents and accidents have occurred in recent years between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Quebec City, for example?
Have you documented any major incidents?
