My response, Mr. Chair, is that we're well served to have a natural gas price in North America that works for both consumers and producers. Given the job creation, economic benefits, and so on that flow from production of natural gas in Canada, it's important that we maintain a healthy and competitive industry here. With specific respect to our proposal, we believe that from a tax standpoint it effectively puts the Canadian industry on a level playing field with our competitors in the United States.
