Thank you, Mr. Chairperson.
Thanks to all of you for your appearance today, especially Mr. Caccia. Thank you for coming. It's nice to see you again.
Let me ask you this, Mr. Caccia, and Andrew. We've had a long-standing policy of eliminating the current accelerated capital cost allowance for the oil sands project. We are hoping that somehow, between this committee and the deliberations on Bill C-30 and the renewed commitment in Parliament to really deal with greenhouse gas emissions, we could maybe achieve something in this budget year. It might be wishful thinking, but we're going to keep trying to the end.
I'm wondering if you have any advice in terms of how we could make this a reality this year for the upcoming budget on March 19. Could you talk about it in terms of cost savings and money that could then be generated for other uses and to meet other commitments? Second, could you talk about it in terms of the urgency with respect to greenhouse gas emissions and the role the oil sands play in that and the whole question of the planet?
