Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us today. There are some elements that are always brought forward at these committees that we may not have heard.
One thing I want to clarify, to make sure it's on the record, is that this committee, over the last six meetings, has heard from various witnesses, and we have not heard once anyone say that this is a good idea to close down Line 5.
The representatives from Michigan were invited to this committee for us to hear their side—the question of why they are going this route—and they declined. This committee has been trying to make sure that we have all of the information so we can do a proper assessment of the situation.
I understand that the Attorney General of Ohio filed an amicus brief back on March 19. Louisiana is also in agreement that this is a bad idea. We've heard from pretty much everyone.
I didn't have a chance to talk to the provincial representatives in the previous panel, but I want to check in with Mayor Bradley.
You talked to us about the importance...and the impact this would have on Sarnia. You mentioned that you've written to all the mayors in Ontario. One thing I haven't heard yet is whether anyone has had conversations with their counterparts across the provinces.
Mayor Bradley, for instance, have you had a chance to speak to Mayor Valérie Plante in Montreal, given the fact that Line 9, which is directly connected to Line 5, goes to the Suncor refinery in east-end Montreal and 66% of the supply to Quebec flows through that. Have you had a chance to reach out to the mayor of Montreal to see if there is an opportunity to have a joint front on this?
Could you elaborate on some of the efforts you've made across the provinces versus strictly in Ontario?
