Yes.
Mr. Chair, actually I can give even more specifics on that. I think this has been a subject of some misinterpretation in the past.
On June 10, the chairs of the three boards in an unusual step got together and jointly signed a letter to the Ottawa Citizen to correct the record. If I could just quote from their letter, this is the three heads of the boards:
Relief wells are a proven method of regaining well control and neither the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board, the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board, nor the National Energy Board would authorize companies to conduct any drilling or production activity if the contingency plans did not adequately address the drilling of a relief well.
So the boards have all been very clear, and I think we've tried to set the record straight. They require a contingency plan for drilling a relief well before any permits are issued.
