Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
I agree with everything you just said about LNG. LNG Canada was previously approved by the federal Conservative government, then deliberately delayed and risked by the government that froze all the applications, put that project under review—again unnecessarily—and then gave it the stamp of approval.
Because of the subject of the motion, I'm going to concentrate on upstream oil sands producers, but I invite all of the other CEOs to follow up on any questions I ask or on subjects you want to expand on with written commentary, which must be included in a final report from this committee.
I want to ask a very quick yes-or-no question of Mr. Kruger, Mr. Corson and Mr. McKenzie.
Recently, a statement was made that, after 40 years, your companies have done very little to combat climate change. Three Conservative colleagues at this table here represent the workers, indigenous workers, employers and contractors, and the communities in which all of your companies operate. That was shocking to us and not nearly what we see in our own backyards.
Answering yes or no, does that statement reflect your position and the position of your company?
