I was going to say that we probably all recognize that safety culture is what will drive continual improvement. Really the lesson for us as regulators—and this was discussed at some length at the International Regulators Forum—is how we can promote safety in the offshore and hold operators accountable for continuous improvement; in other words, move past a compliance regime to a continuous improvement regime.
Our new drilling and production regulations really bode well for that sort of approach. They allow us to hold operators accountable for always recognizing and understanding the best practices and best standards for undertaking their work and adopting those in the work they do.
The IRF is a collection of regulators from eight countries around the world--or actually nine, now that Mexico has joined in. Collectively we identified a strategic agenda of issues. We felt that if we focus on certain activities when working together and then working individually within our own countries and our own jurisdictions, that would really drive the continuous improvement and drive the improvement in safety culture.
I will echo Max's comments that the safety culture I've experienced in my work in Nova Scotia—and I also worked previously in Newfoundland—really measures up against some of the best in the world. There really is a good strong safety culture in our offshore--and, I believe, in the Newfoundland offshore as well.
