Natural Resources committee  Yes, the Oil and Gas Commission and the Auditor General did a follow-up. You should probably check with the B.C. government, but I believe the Auditor General's report came out while they were doing the Oil and Gas Activities Act. I'm not disputing that, but they did find out they were doing the Oil and Gas Activities Act, and many other things were addressed through that.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, and my understanding is there was a subsequent report put out after that one in which the British Columbia government was told that it was doing things in the right manner.

Natural Resources committee  And you should also add the one that followed up on it.

Natural Resources committee  Yes.

Natural Resources committee  I would just say that as with all things we do, we will work with government. Of course, that's why we're here. We wanted to be able to present to you.

Natural Resources committee  I'll speak to the first part, and then I'm going to let Tim speak to the second part. In terms of British Columbia, they just created what was called the Oil and Gas Activities Act. In 2007 they did a B.C. energy plan that reviewed energy needs and security across the province.

Natural Resources committee  Of course all the way through we have to go to the Oil and Gas Commission and get permits, whether for tenure or lease. Throughout that process, we submit to the Oil and Gas Commission. We've worked with Geoscience B.C., which is doing water impact studies up in northeastern B.C.

Natural Resources committee  As we all know, British Columbia has some of the toughest regulations when it comes to oil and gas. It started the Oil and Gas Commission in 1998. It's world-renowned. People very much appreciate the hard work they do there. The Oil and Gas Activities Act was strengthened over the last two years and put through government in 2010.
