Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the panel for coming out this afternoon.
As we start this study, I would like to say that I support Canada's energy industry. It is critically important to our nation and to the world. I remember a previous witness at this committee stated that we should not demonize or idolize any source of energy, and I think that is a very important statement to remember as we work through these discussions.
To Mr. Brunnen or Ms. Joseph, if the oil and gas industry is limited to the access of capital, what kind of impact would this have on Canada, whether it be our economic status, energy security or global emissions?
