No problem.
Notwithstanding the chair's intervention, I remain convinced that I have not heard a single justification for what would appear to be an irrational policy. It seems like government is quite happy when foreigners buy our energy trusts or REITs but not when our energy trusts or REITs buy overseas.
This brings me to a question for Mr. Michaleski. I understand that drilling in Alberta is down substantially. How are the energy trusts doing, and what would be the implication of the passage of the budget bill for this activity? How would that affect the Alberta economy?
