Mr. Speaker, I rise again today to speak about a potential disaster in Notre Dame Bay in Newfoundland.
It deals with the Manolis L. which is a sunken large ship off the coast. It was leaking oil. The Coast Guard has done a patch job on it to make sure no more oil is getting out. However, it a very serious issue. There are over 520 tons of fuel oil still in that ship on the ocean floor. This could be a large-scale environmental disaster for the northeast of Newfoundland.
I beg this government, I beg this minister, what is the next step to get that oil out of the water?
