Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to start with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
This is my first question. With shale gas opportunities across Canada, does a progressive policy around shale gas represent an opportunity to geographically diversify petroleum wealth in Canada, which typically today is associated with a fairly small geography?
Ms. Nash spoke about issues of equality, but one of the things is equality of economic opportunity. Does the shale gas opportunity potentially give us that capacity?
