Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of you for being here.
First off, speaking for Liberal members of this committee—and I hope for all members of this committee—we're acutely aware of how low commodity prices have affected this province. As we listen to your presentations this morning and listen to the subsequent groups, let me say we are eager to find solutions and work with all of you to ensure that Alberta remains the vibrant and vigorous part of the Canadian economy that it's always been.
I have questions for all of you, but I'm going to start with Mr. Wicklum.
The oil sands industry is obviously going through a bit of a reinvention. You mentioned the innovation debates or consultations that are going on right now, which will be important. I can't imagine a better candidate for innovation-type work than the oil sands industry. You also mentioned the clusters. Can you give us some tangible examples of what policy instruments could be put in place that would put the oil sands industry on a firmer footing?
