Mr. Ken Spratt:
I thank the Deputy for his question. I ask the director of the Coast Guard to address both questions. I know from my engagements with the director and our other emergency planning colleagues here in the Department that we have a very good approach to this and very good processes to ensure we are as prepared as we can possibly be. To give a little bit of the detail, I ask the director of the Coast Guard to take that. Mr. Clonan might even give an example of recent scenario planning and preparations that have been gone through.
