Mr. Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for his answer.
I cannot say that I learned much more than what was in the letter I received.
I will not hide the fact that I am frustrated, since the inventory has been around since 1993 and Quebec Stevedoring has been in operation for about 30 years.
Twenty years ago, when the inventory was created, around 15 million tonnes of mostly dry bulk materials were being transferred. Now, that figure is 30 million tonnes. Environment Canada should already have been following up, monitoring and requiring that Quebec Stevedoring report to the inventory.
Why was Quebec Stevedoring not required to report pollutant releases and disposals up to now?
