My question is for Kaity.
Yesterday the Auditor General's office gave a scathing report on the coast guard's ability to respond to a ship oil spill. Since they are the lead agency, it's something of a concern when they rely on the shipping companies to be the first responders.
If Canada's lead agency doesn't have the ability to clean up a spill, how can we have any confidence that the shipping companies and the people they contract have up-to-date equipment and are capable of cleaning up spills that happen?
