All right.
We've referred to the tanker safety expert panel. In their report, they observe that the national standards for Canada's preparedness and response regime make it inflexible and inappropriate for different risk-facing coastal regions.
I'm particularly interested in this, because the environment commissioner made reference to the problems with regard to Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard, and Environment Canada not having adequate plans in place to prepare for and to respond to pollution incidents on all three coasts. It's increasingly important on all three coasts, but in particular in the Arctic, where marine travel and transportation are increasing at a remarkable rate.
To what extent does this bill address the expert panel's concerns and the recommendation for a risk-based area response planning model?
