Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. De Silva, the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is underway, and the situation concerns me, particularly when it comes to emergency preparedness.
In 2015, the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development's report on monitoring pipelines under federal jurisdiction made some rather striking observations. It noted room for improvement in the review process for company emergency manuals, using the most recent audit as a benchmark. A third of the manuals reviewed still lacked key information.
The Pipeline Safety Act took effect on June 18, 2016. What is happening with the Canada Energy Regulator in this regard?
How has the situation evolved since 2015 and since these new regulations came in?
