This is 24-7 all year round.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3940222\" data-originallang=\"en\">The environment is very important. The environment is important, and we talked about it from a reputational perspective, from a community perspective, and also even from an organizational perspective. We have team members who work in the environment department who are as concerned as the rest of the employees about port activities and their impact.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3940223\" data-originallang=\"en\">Throughout the years, and we can talk about all Canadian port authorities, several if not thousands of millions of dollars have been put in to improve the way everyone operates. It's been like that for years and years, getting technology in place, putting resources in place to again mitigate the impact on the surrounding communities, and to do better environmentally.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3940224\" data-originallang=\"en\">A lot of ports have been engaged with communities. You heard about the initiative around liaison committees with neighbourhoods, communities surrounding the ports in Vancouver, Halifax, the port of Quebec, and port of Montreal talking about transparency. They are engaged. They are meeting with people and communities and they are working to try to enhance the situation.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3940221\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsque les gens me demandent ce que je fais, en quoi consistent mes fonctions, la r\u00e9ponse est tr\u00e8s simple. Je m'occupe de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et de protection environnementale. Je le fais 24 heures sur 24, sept jours par semaine tout le long de l'ann\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3940222\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'environnement est tr\u00e8s important. Nous en avons parl\u00e9 dans le contexte de notre r\u00e9putation et dans une perspective communautaire et organisationnelle. Les membres de notre \u00e9quipe qui travaillent dans le domaine environnemental se soucient autant que les autres employ\u00e9s des activit\u00e9s portuaires et de leurs r\u00e9percussions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3940223\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au fil des ans \u2014 je pense \u00e0 l'ensemble des administrations portuaires canadiennes \u2014, des millions sinon des milliards de dollars ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pens\u00e9s pour am\u00e9liorer la fa\u00e7on dont chacun travaille. C'est ainsi depuis tr\u00e8s longtemps. Nous adoptons des technologies et nous mettons en place des ressources pour att\u00e9nuer les effets sur les collectivit\u00e9s voisines et rendre nos op\u00e9rations plus \u00e9cologiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3940224\" data-originallang=\"en\">Beaucoup de ports ont d'excellents rapports avec les collectivit\u00e9s environnantes. Vous avez entendu parler de l'initiative relative aux comit\u00e9s de liaison avec les quartiers et les collectivit\u00e9s entourant les ports de Vancouver, de Halifax, de Qu\u00e9bec, de Montr\u00e9al. Pour assurer la transparence, nous avons \u00e9tabli des relations, nous avons des rencontres avec les gens et les collectivit\u00e9s et nous nous effor\u00e7ons d'am\u00e9liorer la situation.</p>"
