As Madam Touchette said—and her comments really emphasized and highlighted this point—safety and environmental protection are the board's top priorities. The government has told us that we are to conduct a minimum of 6 audits and 150 inspections per year. The board looks at incident data to determine where there may be trends or issues that need to be addressed and takes any enforcement actions that it deems required to preserve the safety of the public and to protect the environment.
As Dr. Steedman also mentioned earlier, the board will never fail or hesitate to take any enforcement action that it feels is required to maintain the safety of the system and to ensure that the companies are indeed anticipating, preventing, mitigating, and managing any dangerous conditions that are associated with their pipelines.
