Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses.
It's always interesting. I used to have a retail gas station in Edmonton, about 25 years ago when the price was 39.9¢, and I have friends and family in Alberta, where the price was 60¢ over the last month. I was trying to figure out why, back in the Okanagan, we always have higher prices, and that's something we will continue to debate. But today we're here interested in discussing supply and world economic impacts on global pricing.
The first question is for Mr. Boag. You mentioned that there are 18 refineries in Canada, in answer to Mr. Cullen's question. There was a study done in 2012 by the Standing Committee on Natural Resources here in Parliament, “Current and Future State of Oil and Gas Pipelines and Refining Capacity in Canada”. It talked about there being at that time 19 refineries. I'm wondering how many refineries we have built in the last 25 years.
