Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My thanks to the witnesses for joining us today. I will start with a question for Mr. Lowry.

We were wondering about the amount of oil that could be recovered from the St. Lawrence River in the event of a spill, considering that there are more and more tankers on the river. The answer was that only between 5% and 20% could be recovered. On the west coast, could you tell us what percentage could be recovered in the event of a spill?
