Fisheries committee  I would add that BP's contract is with ArcticNet as well. It's not with the federal government. We do not get a subsidy from the federal government.

Fisheries committee  Again, ArcticNet contracted the Amundsen. When we do a program, such as the seismic program we did, through our procurement supply chain management organization--to address your concern first about spill mitigation or whatever--we have our own processes to assess what we would do if a barrel of diesel spilled or even if some waste from the ship spilled or anything like that.

Fisheries committee  I don't have the web address with me, but I can get it to you.

Fisheries committee  I suspect that when Mr. Fortier is on next, he will have that web address with him.

Fisheries committee  I'm not really sure. Mike, you have been more involved than I have.

Fisheries committee  During the seismic program, what we mean by successful is that it was executed; we were able to get some seismic. That's what we mean. We had a very safe program. While collecting geoscience and doing the seismic, we also had Inuit spotters on board to watch for whales, to see whether there were any whales in the area in which we were operating.

Fisheries committee  Mr. Chairman, committee members, my name is Anita Perry, and I'm vice-president of government and public affairs for BP Canada. I'm here today to speak about our relationship with ArcticNet. ArcticNet is a network of centres of excellence of Canada. It brings together scientists and managers in the natural, human health, and social sciences fields with their partners from Inuit organizations, northern communities, federal and provincial agencies, and the private sector to study the impacts of climate change in the coastal Canadian Arctic.
