Thank you very much.
The news release put out when this bill was introduced, which I think was dated May 12, 2017, states:
Vessels carrying less than 12,500 metric tons of crude or persistent oil as cargo will continue to be permitted in the moratorium area to ensure northern communities can receive critical shipments of heating oils and other products.
Can you tell us approximately how many tonnes of oil are currently shipped to these northern communities each year? Also, has there been a serious spill in northern B.C. involving one of these ships where thousands of tonnes of oil were spilled?
