Transport committee Whatever I say, please take it as a caution if you're going to invest in or are an investor in Encana. However, I will say that the supply side is very high. Globally we now have Germany, Poland, offshore Israel, and Australia all making major natural gas finds, so this is not a

Transport committee One of the graphs I'll show you in the handout shows the cost of the energy it takes for home refuelling and so forth, and the pricing it will give you. It will give you a graph for that.

Transport committee I think the technology was not appropriate. There's new technology; look at Flyer, with its natural gas transit buses. Calgary has made a commitment for 200 natural gas buses. The biggest difference between Canada and the U.S. is the Clean Air Act in the U.S. L.A., for example, g

Transport committee I had said, with regard to education, that we put on summits here in Ottawa to make people aware of natural gas for transportation.

Transport committee I would think so. In fact, the retailers are now starting to do long-term contracts with Encana. We did a long-term deal with Northwest utilities in Oregon to make sure we closed in on a pricing that they could pass along to their customers. You're starting to see that througho

Transport committee Let me just add one component to what my colleague has said: the transmission price. The tolls of the TransCanada are an issue. Clearly, to take natural gas from western Canada to eastern Canada costs a lot in terms of the tolls that are in existence. This is an issue that is b
