§ Mr. Rostasked the Secretary of State for Energy what information he has regarding the preliminary work authorised by the Nova Scotia Government on a prototype tidal power barrage in the Bay of Fundy.
§ Mr. EadieI understand that the Nova Scotia authorities have commissioned the drilling of test bore holes at suitable points in the Bay of Fundy and that this work is being supported by seismic surveys. Given favourable results to this geological investigation, wider-ranging studies will be undertaken. The possibility of a prototype turbine installation is, I believe, being considered.
