Okay. That's great. Thank you very much.
Mr. Chair, I just want to state towards the end of my questioning here—I'm not sure when the timer was stopped—that I 100% believe that Canada should continue to develop our exceptional energy reserves. I want to be proud of them. I'm on team Canada, since I've been accused of maybe not being. I'm 100% on team Canada. I want to be proud of what natural resources we are able to get to market.
However, Canadians aren't proud of a product that is seven times dirtier, seven times more carbon-intensive and that's contributing to more than 12% of Canada's total emissions. The oil sands in Canada are responsible for more emissions than are the entire provinces of Ontario and Quebec combined. That includes the daily activities and all the industry in both provinces.
We have a lot of work to do, and the oil sands, unfortunately, are headed in the wrong direction, as I pointed out earlier. Oil and gas emissions from the oil sands are going up, not down, and we need help to get them down.
