Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to Mr. Dorward and Captain Temple for being here today. It's so great to have you here to share your thoughts around what has occurred with container spills.
Mr. Dorward, I appreciate your speaking to the fact that this is a human problem. It's a really good perspective for us to take, that this is not an issue specific to coastal communities along the west coast in light of the Zim Kingston, but a human problem across Canada and the world.
In light of your being here today, Mr. Dorward, I'm wondering if you could speak a bit more to your experience as a Tla-o-qui-aht member of when the Zim Kingston spill occurred. Were you contacted in a timely manner? What did that look like? Perhaps you can expand a bit on the communications that occurred in light of the spill.
