I'm speaking to Mr. Langlois, or others.
Mr. Plexman told us a little earlier that we had to help the oil sands industry because we had to ensure we had a certain degree of energy self-sufficiency, since oil comes in large part from countries that are not very safe, like Iran or Irak. Even Venezuela may appear to be a problem for some.
It seems to me those arguments instead justify not providing financial support for development of the oil sands, since the companies that invest in the oil sands have the advantage of being able to operate in a safe and democratic country.
Doesn't that advantage mean that, even if we eliminate accelerated depreciation measures, they'll still want to invest in the oil sands?
