"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2166350\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes. Thank you very much for the question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166351\" data-originallang=\"en\">As Mark has indicated, NRCan is a participant in the NEB review, and of course we're watching actively as it gets under way. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166352\" data-originallang=\"en\">In terms of the comment about safety measures that exist for emergency preparedness and offshore drilling, in Canada at this point each of the arm's-length regulators has a requirement that obligates operators to put in place a number of measures in advance of moving forward. Those measures have to be put in place and approved by the regulator before operators can receive an authorization to move forward with any drilling activity.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166353\" data-originallang=\"en\">Those measures include a safety plan, an environmental protection plan, an emergency response plan, and a contingency plan. Each of those aspects is documented in great detail and to the satisfaction of the regulator before they can go forward. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166354\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canada's structure around the safety measures is an important foundation for the work the regulators do, and it is done in advance of providing authorizations to companies. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2166350\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui. Merci beaucoup de cette question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166351\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme l'a dit Mark, RNCan participe \u00e0 l'examen de l'ONE et, bien s\u00fbr, nous suivons de pr\u00e8s sa mise en route.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166352\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne les mesures de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 existant pour la pr\u00e9paration aux crises et le forage extrac\u00f4tier, chacun des organismes de r\u00e9glementation ind\u00e9pendants est actuellement tenu d'obliger les exploitants \u00e0 mettre en place un certain nombre de mesures avant de commencer \u00e0 forer. Ces mesures doivent \u00eatre mises en place et \u00eatre approuv\u00e9es par l'organisme de r\u00e9glementation avant que l'op\u00e9rateur obtienne l'autorisation d'aller de l'avant avec une quelconque activit\u00e9 de forage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166353\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ces mesures comprennent un plan de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, un plan de protection de l'environnement, un plan d'intervention d'urgence et un plan de secours. Chacun de ces aspects doit \u00eatre document\u00e9 en grand d\u00e9tail \u00e0 la satisfaction de l'organisme de r\u00e9glementation pour pouvoir aller de l'avant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166354\" data-originallang=\"en\">La structure du Canada relativement aux mesures de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 est une assise importante du travail des organismes de r\u00e9glementation, et \u00e7a doit \u00eatre fait avant de d\u00e9livrer des autorisations aux entreprises.</p>"
