Thank you for the question, Mr. Trudeau.
I can speak in particular detail to the Cold Lake-Beaver River basin, where Imperial operates its in situ operation.
We use saline water in that operation. That's part of the Cold Lake-Beaver River water management plan, which has been published. The industry conducted a survey of the availability of saline water in the region over a fairly extensive geographical area and implemented an annual monitoring program to determine the sustainability of that water resource. The study showed that saline water is available in the region over a widespread area, although it can vary significantly in salinity, which can preclude its use as a source water supply; in fact, if it gets too fresh, it actually trips back into the freshwater category.
That water was found to be sustainable, and we'll continue to monitor those resources to ensure that it continues.
