"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2166212\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I said at the start, our area of expertise is the supply and service sector. Certainly we're not experts in terms of oil spill response or in the environmental issues. That's more the purview of the oil companies and the Government of Canada and other parties, but we have a regulator that has 20-odd years of experience. We've had the largest amount of activity in Canada in terms of exploration and production, and we have experience in terms of our regulator and their people. We can only look at the history and look at how things have worked over time. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166213\" data-originallang=\"en\">I can't offer you any concrete new steps, but I think the additional oversight the Canada-Newfoundland Offshore Petroleum Board put in place, which includes a testing of equipment before entering hydrocarbon-bearing zones, is extremely prudent. It'll be interesting to see how the U.S. regulatory process in the gulf worked and how effective that oversight was.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2166212\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l'ai dit au d\u00e9but, notre domaine de sp\u00e9cialisation est le secteur de l'approvisionnement et des services. Nous ne sommes certainement par des experts en mati\u00e8re de r\u00e9action \u00e0 un d\u00e9versement de p\u00e9trole ou de questions d'environnement. Cela rel\u00e8ve plus de la responsabilit\u00e9 des compagnies p\u00e9troli\u00e8res, du gouvernement du Canada et d'autres parties, mais nous avons un organisme de r\u00e9glementation qui poss\u00e8de 20 ann\u00e9es d'exp\u00e9rience. Notre r\u00e9gion est celle qui a connu le plus d'activit\u00e9 de prospection et de production au Canada, et notre organisme de r\u00e9glementation a beaucoup d'exp\u00e9rience. Il suffit de voir l'historique et la mani\u00e8re dont les choses ont march\u00e9 jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2166213\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne peux pas vous proposer de nouvelles mesures concr\u00e8tes mais je pense que la supervision renforc\u00e9e de la part de l'Office Canada-Terre-Neuve des hydrocarbures p\u00e9troliers, comprenant la mise \u00e0 l'\u00e9preuve de l'\u00e9quipement avant de p\u00e9n\u00e9trer les zones contenant des hydrocarbures, est un signe d'extr\u00eame prudence. Il sera int\u00e9ressant de voir comment a fonctionn\u00e9 le dispositif de r\u00e9glementation am\u00e9ricain dans le golfe et quelle a \u00e9t\u00e9 l'efficacit\u00e9 de la supervision.</p>"
