I can. I favour small government, so when the oil and gas industry is making record-breaking profits, I think that they should be paying for a lot of the things themselves. There's no reason for the taxpayer to subsidize that. However, on things like carbon capture, where it is a new untested technology, where there are large upfront costs, competitors in the oil and gas world elsewhere aren't doing carbon capture and aren't reducing the methane in the way we are. When you're asking the Canadian oil and gas industry to do something at a higher standard and at a more expensive level, which makes their production more expensive and thus less competitive, that's when I think there's a role for the public sector to step in.
