Transport committee  Yes. Currently, coal is exported through the port of Prince Rupert. Some thermal coal, we understand, is exported through Thunder Bay.

Transport committee  There may also be private sector ports. They would not be impacted by regulations under the Canada Marine Act.

Transport committee  With respect to the port of Vancouver coal, 39.8 million tonnes of coal are exported. In the case—

Transport committee  The answer to that question about whether anything else is banned—in terms of import or export under those regulations—is no.

Transport committee  My understanding is that Westshore Terminals have 250 full-time employees.

Transport committee  We would have to defer to colleagues at Environment Canada with respect to that question.

Transport committee  We don't have that breakdown.

Transport committee  We don't have full information for all of the individual terminals. We are aware that the terminal in Prince Rupert has plans with respect to transitioning away from coal, based on the expected ban that was announced. With respect to Thunder Bay, I don't have any information, unfortunately.

Transport committee  It has not, to the best of my knowledge. I think our colleagues at ECCC would be better positioned regarding the conversations in respect of the phase-out of coal.

Transport committee  The process, as far as I'm aware, would normally take about 36 months from inception through consultation through gazetting.

Transport committee  It can be longer. It depends on the nature of the regulation.

Transport committee  I don't have that information immediately available, but we could provide it.

Transport committee  Only to the extent that it is actually a port activity. That's my understanding. If it was sewage, for example, that was collected in the context of the operations of the port, it may apply because that's specific to a port's operation—if there was sewage collection on the port—but that would, to the best of my knowledge, be the extent of it.

Transport committee  I'm sorry. I don't have that information at hand.

Transport committee  I'm sorry. We would not have that information on hand right now.
