正文(英文) | News releaseNovember 4, 2021 – St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador Strong and effective enforcement of Canada’s environmental and wildlife protection laws is one of the concrete ways Environment and Climate Change Canada delivers on the commitment to provide clean air and water and protect and conserve wildlife species and their habitat. On November 3, 2021, Environment and Climate Change Canada laid three charges against Husky Oil Operations Limited. The charges relate to a major petroleum spill on November 16, 2018, at the White Rose Oil Field in the Newfoundland and Labrador offshore area, where an estimated 250,000 L of crude oil was released into the environment. The three charges include one charge for a contravention of subsection 36(3) of the Fisheries Act, one charge for a contravention of subsection 38(6) of the Fisheries Act and one charge for a contravention of subsection 5.1(1) of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994. These charges followed a comprehensive investigation that involved both federal environmental and wildlife enforcement officers, and are in addition to three charges laid by the Canada–Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB) based on its concurrent investigation into the same incident. The first court appearance is scheduled for November 23, 2021, at the Provincial Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in St. John’s. All charges are currently before the Court and have not yet been proven. Under Canadian law, those charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Environment and Climate Change Canada will not comment further at this time.
