Just on that point, Mr. Chair, there is a tax policy unit at Finance Canada. There is very well established nomenclature and there are descriptions as to what constitutes a subsidy and what does not.
I would suggest, perhaps, for your consideration that you write to the Minister of Finance as chair of this committee and ask the Minister of Finance to provide this committee with a detailed written briefing as to what constitutes a subsidy for a particular sector, particularly the oil and gas sector—according to the request that was made, I think we're talking about the oil and gas sector—and that the document be delivered up to this committee for its consideration.
