Thank you, Mr. Keating, for the great work you do for Newfoundland and Labrador and for appearing again on this committee for this important discussion.
I just want to dig into some of the points you've raised. Most importantly, we've just struck a deal on the offshore. It's a milestone agreement with Equinor and BP to advance the Bay du Nord project. This would be Equinor's very first operatorship offshore of Canada and BP's first production.
I want to frame this question with respect to where we've been over the last number of years and where we are now. How important are new international investors to Newfoundland and Labrador's offshore?
