Thank you very much for that answer.
The Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board looks after three different mandates: health and safety, the environment, and industry regulation. Some people where I come from say that puts the C-NLOPB in a potential conflict. You can't look after three adequately.
Kathy Dunderdale, the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and this comes back to my first question, has endorsed recommendation 29, saying that the province wants to move forward with this, but again, it comes down to the federal government and its failure to move forward itself.
More specifically, can you tell me whether or not your department has plans to move forward with an independent safety regulator for the offshore oil industry off Newfoundland and Labrador, and off Nova Scotia?
