I would love to speak to that. I was simply quoting from an editorial piece called “Does Oil Hinder Democracy?”, talking about oil, of course, from a publication subtitled “News for Canadians living with oil and gas production”. I figure that's fair domain and is what we're talking about here. These aren't my words. I'm simply exploring the words of one of our witnesses here today who has written extensively about this particular subject. We have to be able to evaluate his comments in light of those testimonies presented by other witnesses.
We do the same types of things, Mr. Chair, in terms of exploring their credibility. We have to be able to evaluate and weigh whether we trust the testimony from this particular witness versus another. Part of my questioning down the road here a little, too, is to explore that a little in terms of what experts have said on this, as opposed to a journalist, for example. We have to be able to weigh those things, and I think I'm entirely germane to what the discussion is about, Mr. Chair.
