So there will be no decline in safety, but you foresee that, based on a risk analysis, you could actually enhance safety. Is that accurate?
External Relations, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation
That is why we are supportive of it.

Okay.
Are there any geographic areas that don't have resources but may potentially end up getting resources as a result of a risk-based analysis?
External Relations, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation
There was a risk-based analysis for the southern pipeline project, the twinning project. What we saw with that is that we would look at more bases along the south coast, so we'd be building in excess capacity along the southern shipping routes because of that particular project and because of the risk analysis that was done for that project. So we would see an enhancement of the existing capacity.
