Absolutely. Thank you very much.
The number I put forward was from the Canadian Energy Research Institute study that looked at oil sands alone, not the entire industry, over the period 2000 to 2020. Those oil sands generated revenue of $123 billion to governments, including the federal government and relevant provincial governments, and the other provinces as well, and associated municipalities.
We have seen this dramatically affecting Canada all the way across. We have had the Canadian Manufacturers' Association say this has been a lifeline to them as they look for opportunities to supply goods and services to the oil sands, which then generate wealth throughout all of Canada.
Everyone is very familiar with the labour issues we are struggling with in the oil sands area, which have actually turned out to be an economic boon for many people coming from Atlantic Canada, who are bringing their skills and providing services to us and returning that revenue back to those provinces.
So it is very widespread across Canada.
