Thank you very much.
I will now go to Mr. Patry and Mr. Bélanger.
Thank you for mentioning the whole Kinder Morgan issue. I come from British Columbia and I can tell you that most people there are concerned not only about the project's impact on the environment, but also about its negative impact on the economy. This project threatens jobs in the tourism sector and in the fishing industry, among others. It's huge. The fact that you mentioned it is most appropriate, given that the budget is coming up.
In your opinion, instead of spending $15 billion to buy an old oil pipeline that leaks everywhere, it would be better to invest in green energy, renewable energy, which is the way of the future. Is that correct? That's my first question.
In addition, in your brief, which is a very good document, you mention the need to redefine competitiveness in Canada. You talk about our health care system and the fact that it gives a competitive advantage to our Canadian companies, since they do not have to bear the costs of it, unlike our U.S. competitors. Could we say the same about a national drug plan or a child care program? Would all those factors contribute to how competitive our companies are?
