Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the officials who are guiding us.
Mr. Tremblay, I want to thank you for your frankness. Sometimes we get officials who are not as frank and as open as you are. I applaud that.
I want to stay more focused on Line 5. I'm more concerned.... I think that perhaps the issue is being made much bigger. If we can stay focused on it, we would be able to better deal with it. The real issue is the short part of the line that goes under a strait. There is an application by the owner of the line to bore a tunnel, encase it in concrete and then have the pipeline go through it, to protect it. It's not the entire line that is at risk.
What are your conversations like with officials in Michigan, as well as the officials federally in the U.S., your counterparts there? How is their optimism for working on a solution for that or perhaps accelerating permits to have that short length built so that we can resolve this issue?
