Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at this point in time, the corporation believes that the containment program has contained the oil to the plant site and that the construction of berms and the collection facility will preclude any of the oil seeping into the ocean.
In terms of the effect on permafrost or the soil, it is difficult to say exactly how much impact there will be until we get further along in the process. I would like to point out, Mr. Speaker, that the spill about a year ago in Repulse Bay has given the Power Corporation very good insight into how to collect oils that do spill in similar circumstances. We are optimistic that there will be no see page to the ocean and we will be able to effect a complete recovery at the site.
