Dear Messrs. Luckham and Watson: 
 
Thank you for your correspondence of May 31, 2018, regarding your request for a standby 
rescue tug to be used in the vicinity of Sidney, British Columbia, and Turn Point, Washington. 
 
Given that this issue is more within the purview of the Canadian Coast Guard, you have taken 
the correct action in providing a copy of your letter to the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, 
Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard.  I trust that he will respond to your 
request in due course. 
 
Thank you again for writing. 
 
Yours sincerely, 
 
 
 
 
 
The Honourable Marc Garneau, P.C., M.P. 
Minister of Transport 
 
 
c.c.       The Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, P.C., M.P. 
Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard
