It bears some interest, because they point out some significant concerns with what's happening.
In a letter that you wrote to Ken Salazar, the Secretary of the Interior, your organization wrote, on June 4: “The 30 deepwater rigs in the Gulf of Mexico are operating according to established industry best practices and emphasize the best possible safety and environmental practices.”
We keep hearing that Canada has the best rules and regulations in the world. Your association also believes this of the rules and regulations guiding practices in Mexico. That's simply not enough. There also have to be the practices and the vigilance.
I want to get to Ms. Fraser for a second, because what you said disturbs me in terms of the public's ability--the stakeholders' ability--to get at information about spills and what's happening in real time with oil companies. You said there is a caveat in subsection 119(2) of the Atlantic accord. Essentially, the C-NLOPB has to go to the company and ask if it wants to release its information. The company invariably says no, and then they turn to the public and interest groups and ask.
Is that correct?
