I'm not aware of the intimate metrics involved in those polluter pays agreements. Certainly, because we're constantly looking for adequate funding, I would anticipate that the details of those agreements aren't providing sufficient liquidity to support large-scale recovery efforts when a situation like the Zim Kingston happens.
Groups like the Coastal Restoration Society, first nations and others up and down the west coast of Vancouver Island have been crying for adequate funding and capacity support to perform the surveys and the recovery of this material since it happened. Although I'm unaware of the details of those agreements or any levies or fines that might come as a result of these incidents, I would assume that they're not sufficient if everybody along the coast clearly indicates that the resources are not adequate at this time.
