This was to be an overview of the oil sands and water. I'm not sure where....
Do you have another question, Mr. Watson?

Can't they talk about the impact to the Ontario economy? I don't know if they want to take a stab at the question.

President, Canadian Centre for Energy Information
I would not have the actual economic impacts, but I know it does impact the manufacturing industries in Ontario. I could look to see if I could provide you with a more definitive answer.

Again, if that could come to the clerk, all members here would have an opportunity to have the answers.
Thank you.
Mr. Watson, do you have another question?

No, I'll leave it at that, Mr. Chair. I think we can get some of that information out of the natural resources committee report. It takes a stab at the some of the numbers there.

Mr. Chairman, I have three documents in front of me that contradict each other. First of all, I would draw your attention to page 20 of the report tabled by the Standing Committee on Natural Resources, where it states that Canadian government revenues will be $123 billion. Everyone agrees on that amount.
In the same report, it states that revenues will be cumulative between 2000 and 2020. However, in Ms. Killingsworth's deck, it states that this will occur between 2000 and 2025. Finally, in the French version of the deck, it says that the period is from 2000 to 2005. So, we have three different figures here. I would ask that those figures be corrected. Which one is correct?
5:30 p.m.
President, Canadian Centre for Energy Information
The figures I used were from the report of the Canadian Energy Research Institute. I can go back to that report and provide you with the source of its data.

Thank you very much.
I'd like to thank our guests. Certainly I think everybody sees the scope of this issue, and we'll have a lot more questions. Thank you very much for appearing.
The meeting is adjourned.
