As my colleague suggests, the process for an abandoned vessel, whether it's just happened or whether it's a wreck that's been on the beach for some time, is that as soon as it starts to present, through the environmental response program and using our current authorities, we'll size up the scene and the extent of the damage and use our ER assets, our environmental response assets, to mitigate it.
In some cases, this turns into a full-blown remediation of the wreck. For example, in Ladysmith over the last 18 months, there have been seven full vessel removals. These were vessels that were alongside and had been for some time, and the Coast Guard didn't have the authority to take immediate action because the pollution threat wasn't imminent.
The new legislation will allow us to reach in sooner, without waiting for the vessel to sink, for example. The Anapaya is one that comes to mind in Ladysmith. This is an old converted fish packer that sank alongside the dock. Our program responded to that. Canada funded the response. Now, post incident, we're pursuing ownership to look for cost recovery.
