Residents in Smiths Falls, Ont. are concerned after tourism company Le Boat spilled diesel fuel into the Rideau Canal for the second time.

"A minor fuel spill happened when one of our employees was refilling a water tank. He accidentally put water in the diesel tank instead of the water tank," Lisa McLean, marketing manager for Le Boat, said.

"Mistakes do happen, but the same mistake happening twice in two years, when does that become negligence," Denham questioned. In a statement Friday, the town said, "The Town would like to assure the community that while the Town of Smiths Falls remains dedicated to supporting job creation and business growth, maintaining the natural environment including the integrity of the water ways remains paramount."
