I certainly agree with that, and I thank you for mentioning Manitoba. Too often our friendly province of Manitoba isn't mentioned in testimony from witnesses.
Fertilizer is a big source of employment in my constituency, so this is a great comparison. Koch Fertilizer resides in Brandon, and we have Deep Sky, which started in Alberta, proposing a direct air carbon capture facility in my constituency, which is technology that has not proven to create any results. It would offer about 40 potential long-term jobs versus 400 people who are and have regularly been employed for over 30 years at the Koch Fertilizer plant.
How do you expect me to go back and justify to my constituents the disparity between the numbers of jobs in my rural Manitoba community that can be created by these two different industries?
