I want this to be clear. Strategic environmental assessments exist for this type of project. The Department of Finance provides financial assistance to the industry. Were you consulted? I understand that you did not want to give the Government of Alberta advice. You do not want to be perceived as trying to exert influence, but are you in a position to advise the Department of Finance which, for its part, contributes to this industry by way of tax incentives? Have you issued a notice on assistance provided to this industry as part of the strategic environmental assessment?
