Thank you, Minister, for coming today. I appreciate your time here.
Actually, the member across the way asked a question I had about the single-window initiative, the efficiency it creates at the border, and how that thickening isn't really good for Canadians of any stripe. We want to make sure that trade happens, and happens efficiently. It doesn't mean any less scrutiny, by any means.
But that question has been asked, so I'll ask you about this instead. I'm a member from British Columbia, as you know, and a lot of my constituents have mentioned their concerns about tanker safety. I know how much our government is working on the file, especially tanker safety and a spill response regime that I think is world class and second to none.
I wanted to know, Minister, if you would mind explaining where that process is. We know the ministry is involved in going through that process now. Perhaps you could tell us just where the process is at.
