Mr. Speaker, now we know that the environment minister is in Halifax, could the government tell us if he is having discussions with the environment minister of Nova Scotia regarding the 233-metre vessel which is stuck off Scatarie Island? It will cost anywhere from $20 million to $24 million, and the federal government has told the province that it will not be responsible for, or even assist in, the removal of that vessel.
Could the environment minister or the parliamentary secretary please tell the House what the government will do to assist the province of Nova Scotia in removing the MV Miner from Scatarie Island?
