Mr. Speaker, I will take this opportunity to say that our government is determined to protect the health and safety of Canadians and our waters.
We are doing what it takes to ensure that the permanent removal of the Kathryn Spirit is done safely and effectively, something that the previous government did not do.
Between July 2016 and July 2017, Public Services and Procurement Canada conducted the environmental studies and assessments required for dismantling the ship. We are keeping our promise.
