Mr. Speaker, that is not very reassuring since we know that just a few years ago the former minister of natural resources, the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands, was denying that there was even a moratorium on tanker traffic in those waters.
These are environmentally sensitive areas prone to seismic activity and important to our tourism and fisheries in British Columbia.
What concrete steps is the government taking to ensure that the west coast moratorium on offshore drilling and tanker traffic will remain in place?
