For the record, I agree with you, Mr. Chair: this has been non-partisan. I think we all agreed, when people submitted the witness list, on whatever name they submitted. There were no arguments. I think the challenge has been that we've had too much success. The problem is not that we've been excluding people, but having a difficult time including people.
We all have your briefs. I know that I speak to colleagues--I'm just speaking for the Liberal Party--who have better expertise than I do on different issues. So we've done this on a consultative basis. There's also been some change in our critics.
Again, on behalf of my party, I'd like to apologize, but I think it was Anita who spoke to me and to Scott's office.
We appreciate that at the last possible second, Ms. Day, your group was able to appear.
I'd like to change the tone a little bit and go to the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association. I don't think you've gotten a question yet.
Ms. Kenny, I guess I'll come out and say it: why should government, taxpayers, help with the cleanup or pay for the retirement, as you would say, of the pipeline assets when your members are the ones who have profited from the resource or from the ability to transport whatever resource you did transport?
