Mr. Chair, it's a pleasure to be here today.

Thanks to the witnesses for coming today.

I am the member for Burnaby—Douglas. We have the good fortune of having a number of facilities in my riding, including the Westridge marine terminal, which I think is very relevant here today. Mr. Wright has already alluded to Kinder Morgan.

I've had the good fortune of visiting your facilities, Mr. Wright. Thank you for the tour.

I'm interested in more concrete examples of relevance to this amendment to the Canada Shipping Act as it pertains to oil handling facilities.

Perhaps, Mr. Wright, I could start with you.

In 2007, 250,000 litres of oil were spilled from the Kinder Morgan facilities into Burrard Inlet. From what I've read, 125,000 litres went into Burrard Inlet and your organization was involved in the cleanup. Am I right?
