Yes. Well, essentially, while the last few weeks have been very important because we have been discussing the great global challenge, which is climate change, and Canada's reaction or lack of reaction to it, I think many committee members are hoping we can bring closure to a study that began almost a year ago into the oil sands and their impact on water.
As you know, Chair, it's important that our report reflect the most up-to-date information and insights on the issue of water and oil sands. Since the end of our hearings, including our tour last spring, there have been new papers published, new reports published. There has been a paper published on the potential impact of carbon capture and storage on aquifers.
We've heard over and over again from this government, and in fact from the Government of Alberta as well, that carbon capture and storage is one of the solutions to the growing emissions coming from the oil sands. I have my doubts as to whether it's applicable to the oil sands, but in any event, Mr. Warawa on many occasions wanted to discuss carbon capture and storage in the context of the committee's study on oil sands and water. This would be the opportunity to incorporate into the report some kind of discussion. It doesn't have to be a major chapter by any means, but I think some kind of discussion should be incorporated into the final report on the subject of carbon capture and storage and the potential impact on aquifers in the region of the oil sands.
