Mr. Speaker, I have already said this, but I want to make it very clear that the Northeast Newfoundland Slope marine refuge will remain a refuge under current conditions, and we will examine all exploration activities in a marine refuge on a case-by-case basis. What we now have is a tendering process, but that does not authorize production activities.

Mr. Speaker, I keep repeating the same thing day after day when I get asked this question: It is simply a tendering process that does not authorize offshore production. I want to clarify that any proposed offshore production would first be subject to the Impact Assessment Act. These are exploratory zones only. This is not for production.
