All of the country benefited. We had a huge trade surplus. Manufacturers in central Canada were doing record business in the oil patch. Then, of course, as we all know, the world price of oil collapsed. During that collapse, we had probably three-quarters to maybe even 80% to 90% of the rigs idle because nobody was spending any money.
Now that the price has started to climb back up and companies have started to engage drilling companies to go out and explore for conventional oil. In this particular budget, the government has slapped the oil industry by proposing to reduce the petroleum drilling incentive. What justification would that have from Finance officials, or is it purely political?
