Mr President, I have a supplementary question. Perhaps I can reiterate the question. I have in fact read the preliminary report from the safety bureau so I do not need to be told about that in further response. What I would like to know is: why hasn't a salvor been identified? Is the government facilitating this? While that ship remains in place, oil and phosphate continue to leak into the marine environment. Is this ship going to be salvaged, and how is the government fast-tracking its salvage?
