I'll be sharing my time with Mr. Nicholls.
Thanks to all the witnesses for their very interesting presentations.
I'd like to start with you, Ms. Kenny, particularly around the issue of safety innovations with pipelines.
I represent a province, as you know, that has real concerns about a possible proposal around Northern Gateway, and I think it's fair to say that pipelines, to a certain extent, have lost their social licence, at least in my province. There's a strong reaction from the public, and the reasons are quite valid. When we look at the Transportation Safety Board statistics on incidents, we've gone from about 30 incidents a year in 2002 to about 145 incidents in 2011. These are oil spills that are happening with increasing frequency, unfortunately, particularly larger ones of more than 1,000 cubic metres.
As far as safety innovation is concerned for the industry, people talk about double walled, they talk about pipe rotation, and they talk about a more rigorous replacement regime. From the industry standpoint, what do you think are the innovations that need to be brought in so we can turn this record around?
