Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to thank the representatives from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency for explaining the process to us.
However, I would like to come back to the Imperial Oil project. I think we have no choice but to come back to this project, which is worth $7 billion and is designed to produce 300,000 barrels of oil per day for the next 50 years. Unless I am mistaken, and you may correct me if I am wrong, that is roughly the equivalent of 800,000 cars on the road.
This project has gone to the Federal Court. I have been a member of Parliament for 11 years, and I was involved in the amendments to CEPA, the Species at Risk Act, the Community and Environmental Assessment Act, to mention just a few—Mr. Tonks was the chair at the time—and I think there was an amendment made to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
Am I mistaken in saying that projects must be assessed for greenhouse gas emissions? Am I wrong in saying that the act provides there must be an assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions the projects will entail?
