Natural Resources Minister Siobhan Coady is encouraged with the release of a safety and sustainability plan by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
Coady says in recent months she convened meetings with the C-NLOPB, Natural Resources Canada and industry representatives to ensure everything was being done to protect the offshore environment and ensure the safety of offshore workers.
She says the continuous improvement plan released this week builds on those discussions and speaks to the importance of collaboration and information sharing.
Canada has some of the highest standards in the world and a stringent regulatory regime for offshore oil and gas development according to CAPP.
