Thank you. I'll answer in English.
It's true. There are many responsibilities, and they all have to be shared. I think what we're saying here today is that we are focusing on one particular responsibility, but we have to look at all of the others.
For example, you talked about industry. There is a major responsibility for industry and one of those responsibilities is something that I know Commissioner Wells looked at when he did his inquiry. I'm certain that you're going to be carefully studying his recommendations, because one of the things he looked at in great detail, for example, was the responsibility of industry with regard to having survival suits that really meet the needs of being in the North Atlantic and survival suits that under whatever circumstances will be able to give off warnings so that people can be found easily, etc.
So yes, there are responsibilities that industry has to follow, for example, and there are many recommendations that Mr. Wells has in his report that do point to industry. Industry is responsible for the lives of the people, whether they are working on their boats, or on their rigs, or whatever it is. There is no doubt about that. I don't think we can be too easy on industry when it comes to their responsibility, especially when it comes to whether it looks like what we're asking for is expensive. If we're talking about the oil industry in particular and we think about what happened in the Gulf of Mexico and with BP, they have the money and they have the resources, even if that is through their insurance or whatever. I agree with you.
We also have the responsibility to make sure that the management is done well. You can look at the Canada-Newfoundland Offshore Petroleum Board, where you have the federal and provincial governments working together. I don't think the C-NLOPB is doing its job adequately around the whole issue of safety and all of the aspects of occupational health and safety.
I made this comment when I presented to Commissioner Wells, and I think he deals with it in his recommendations as well: I believe we should be modelling ourselves on Norway and on Australia. We should have a separate safety body that has the resources not just to set regulations but to be involved in the research that needs to be done and to enlist here in Newfoundland and Labrador, for example, our university and our marine institute in doing research that is particular to safety in the North Atlantic.
So it's not just around wheels-up and helicopters that there is a joint responsibility. It's in all of those aspects. I would agree with you.
