"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2349254\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you. I was thinking more about spill response, but I appreciate the caution that was being taken.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2349255\" data-originallang=\"en\"> A concern I also have with the use of the <em>Amundsen</em> for pre-drilling purposes is that the Office of the Auditor General and the Commissioner of Environment and Sustainable Development has made it very clear that this government is not at this point able to ensure Canadians that it can prevent or respond to spills. So there are no consistent or systematic assessments and no formal processes to assure that risks are being assessed. Knowledge of risks in Canada regarding ship-source oil spills is neither complete nor up to date. Emergency plans essentially don't exist. The coast guard doesn't have the systems necessary to ensure that its training and exercise programs can be delivered...and the list goes on. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2349256\" data-originallang=\"en\">So there are huge gaps. Was there any concern or consideration that if one of the coast guard's limited assets, this boat, part of its capacity to do what it's responsible for doing, was taken that this would actually further weaken the coast guard's ability to do its job?</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2349254\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci. Je songeais plut\u00f4t \u00e0 l'intervention en cas de d\u00e9versement, mais je comprends les pr\u00e9cautions que vous prenez.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2349255\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai une autre inqui\u00e9tude au sujet de l'utilisation de l'<em>Amundsen</em> pour des activit\u00e9s avant forage: le Bureau du v\u00e9rificateur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et du commissaire \u00e0 l'environnement et au d\u00e9veloppement <em></em>durable a dit tr\u00e8s clairement que le gouvernement ne peut pour l'instant garantir aux Canadiens qu'il est en mesure de pr\u00e9venir les d\u00e9versements ou d'y r\u00e9agir s'il s'en produisait. Il n'y a donc pas d'\u00e9valuations coh\u00e9rentes ou syst\u00e9matiques, et aucun processus officiel pour assurer une \u00e9valuation des risques. La connaissance des risques au Canada, concernant les d\u00e9versements de p\u00e9trole provenant de navire, n'est ni compl\u00e8te ni \u00e0 jour. Il n'y a \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s aucun plan d'urgence. La Garde c\u00f4ti\u00e8re n'a pas les syst\u00e8mes n\u00e9cessaires pour offrir ses programmes de formation et d'exercice... La liste continue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2349256\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a donc d'\u00e9normes lacunes. S'est-on inqui\u00e9t\u00e9 du fait, ou a-t-on tenu compte du fait que, si l'un des actifs limit\u00e9s de la Garde c\u00f4ti\u00e8re, ce navire, qui fait partie de sa capacit\u00e9 de remplir son r\u00f4le, est consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 autre chose, cela affaiblira davantage sa capacit\u00e9 de faire son travail?</p>"
