That would be me, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much.
I would like to start by exploring where and what the Americans have said and acted on to date.
They have been very clear in the messaging to us around self-sufficiency and the repatriation of jobs, be that from the national security tariffs we saw on steel and aluminum to the tax reforms that incentivized American companies, to repatriating jobs to the U.S., to signalizing that they want to modernize trade rules so that taxpayer dollars can spur domestic investment to climate change, where, obviously, we've seen the cancellation of Keystone XL, and now the controversy over the situation with Line 5.
The message is serious. The opposition to Line 5—and to decommission it, not just to suspend the underwater portion—has been increasing since 2015, and now we have a looming deadline of May 2021, which is just around the corner.
What possible outcome and what probability do we have of being able to turn this around before May?
