You did not talk about geothermy, which is very important, because we may now be at the same stage we were for hydrocarbons 35 years ago in Canada.

We have started to produce solar energy, and we are now at the same point we were 30 years ago in terms of hydrocarbons in Alberta. If we were able to extract oil from the oil sands, we can surely produce other forms of energy.

Before the government tabled its plan, did it ask you about the job creation potential?
