Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the past, a number of oil spills in the corporation's facilities have been caused by human error. Because of that, the amount of technology that has been introduced into the system to try to avoid human error has been dramatically increased over the past number of years. Unfortunately, this situation was caused by a technical problem with one of the pieces of equipment. At the present time, to avoid the possibility of a similar situation happening in other locations, any other facility which has the potential for a similar problem, has been directed to not engage in fuel transfers, unless there is human supervision of the transfer. A correction for the problem, which was unforeseen, in the equipment is being looked for and will be installed in all facilities where it is relevant. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
