Thank you very much to the witnesses for coming here.
My first question is for the representative of the Canadian Gas Association.
You must certainly know about the Dutch disease. It goes as follows: the more you invest in oil and gas exploitation, the more the manufacturing sector suffers.
At present, of all the countries in the world, I think the Dutch disease applies the most brutally to Canada.
The Dutch, Norwegian and English governments have found a solution to this situation. They required producers to give some added value to the product they were exploiting, that is, they had to do some processing.
What is your opinion on this?
