COVE - Standing Committee on Public Accounts

"If you were to put dots on the map of where there are capabilities and capacities in ocean technology in Nova Scotia, frankly, the centre of mass would be in Dartmouth, not in Downtown Halifax. I think it's a fair comment to say when you include the Defense Lab and Bedford Institute [of Oceanography] and multitude of in-market companies and Burnside and Woodside. So no question, it is the pulsing centre of our industry here in Nova Scotia." - Jim Hanlon, CEO COVE
