This is in contrast to Canada's attempts to ignore the impacts of seismic testing on marine life. "It is shameful that DFO and the Minister of Fisheries are choosing to play dumb so that oil and gas companies can have their way," says Elizabeth May of the Sierra Club, noting that the DFO continues to allow seismic testing in sensitive regions like coastal Cape Breton.

If passed before the end of the session, it would stop operators in the shipping industry who pollute Canada's waters intentionally or through negligence.
