Did Husky Wait 14 Hours After Spill Discovery To Shut Off Pipeline?

"Husky Energy issued a release on Tuesday afternoon as a "clarification" of the timeline surrounding the leak of 200-250 cubic meters of oil into the North Saskatchewan River.

Earlier in the day, the provincial government released a report on the incident that Husky had filed with the Ministry of Economy.

That report said the company discovered a "pipeline release" or oil leak on the edge of the river last Wednesday night. That was about 14 hours before it notified the government and shut off the flow."
