The government of Saskatchewan has given Husky Energy a 30-day extension to file its report on the cause of the oil spill that dumped more than 200,000 litres of oil into the North Saskatchewan River in July. Under provincial regulations, the company had 90 days to submit reports and determine the cause of the pipeline breach. "This is a major piece of scientific and engineering research that has to go on," MacKnight told reporters during a conference call on Friday afternoon. The provincial government said Husky must now file its final report on the incident before Nov. 21. Husky told the government in its latest update that it has recovered 93 per cent of the oil that spilled.
