Thank you very much.
I think one of the important distinctions for New Democrats between the debate around Line 5 and debates that have been had and are ongoing around the Trans Ex pipeline and Keystone XL is that, first of all, Line 5 is an existing piece of infrastructure. It's not a new build, and it doesn't depend on increasing production per day and the rate of extraction in order to bring economic benefit to Canada.
The other piece, of course, is that Line 5 supports value-added jobs, so that it's not just a question of rip-and-ship or taking raw natural resources and shipping them somewhere else for the value-added work to be done.
Those are important things.
You mentioned in your opening statement how proud you are of the work you did advocating for Keystone XL, which is one of those projects that depends upon an increased rate of extraction in order to be viable.
I'm wondering if you, as the Minister of Natural Resources who is playing an important role in Canada's energy strategy, could share with the committee what Canada's current greenhouse gas emissions are and what they have to be in order for Canada to meet its commitments under the Paris accord by 2030.
