Thank you for the question.
In no particular order, a couple of things come to mind.
The first is certainly having a clear signal from government of the legitimate and important role that the oil, gas and energy sector plays in the Canadian economy. As the honourable member will know, for the folks over in Alberta, it's where a lot the extraction takes place, but there's a whole supply chain across the country that benefits from and relies upon this. Certainly, the industry pays taxes, and those taxes help fund roads, hospitals, national defence and social programs. I think that's an important recognition to have that is important from the top.
The other element of it, too, is, how we advance the conversation globally. We like to talk a lot about Canada's role on the world stage. Energy is an area where Canada can assert some influence, and it's a tool. We're looking at how Canada makes itself relevant in a very realpolitik way. Again, I think the energy sector is something that we shouldn't be shy in talking about.
This isn't about just the current context of what's going on with the terrible war in Ukraine. This is something that we should have been doing well before the conflict started.
Those would be two measures I would put forward for the committee's consideration.
