Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank members of the opposition for asking to lengthen the meeting to ask questions of the NEB.
You play a very important role in the work we do as legislators when it comes to responsible resource development. I appreciate the fact that we've had you here for two hours.
I also was remiss in not introducing a young student who is shadowing me today, and that's Caroline Wu.
I recall that you had announced the potential opening of two new offices, one in Montreal and one in Vancouver. I want to give you the opportunity to let us know why you've chosen to do that and what you're hoping to accomplish by having offices in Montreal and Vancouver.
