I'm probably taking up your three minutes. I apologize for that. I'd like to get this out on the table, and then all the rest of you can ask me all sorts of follow-up questions.
For our part—the government—we have been advocating for Line 5 continuously, non-stop, since 2017. The issue of this pipeline has been relevant in Michigan for several years, and before this governor, so we have been very active in the region. Our consul general, Joe Comartin, and his predecessor have been very active in the region in making sure that everybody understands the importance of this line for Michiganders and for the United States.
We have made several on-the-record, written comments in support of Line 5 and the proposed tunnel project by Enbridge. We participate in a federal-provincial working group that coordinates advocacy around the project in Michigan, in adjoining states and at the federal level.
It was, of course, raised in the Prime Minister's discussion with President Biden last week. It was raised by the minister, Mr. O'Regan, with his counterpart. It was raised by the Prime Minister with the U.S. Secretary of State. I've raised it with Governor Whitmer several times, and with her predecessor at least a couple of times. It has been active, detailed advocacy for several years now.
Thank you for the time.
