As the second- or third-largest, depending how you measure it, with our resources—not only in the energy sector but with minerals and timber, and agriculture, for that matter—we have a tremendous opportunity. The problem is that we can't get our resources to market.
We're building the Trans Mountain pipeline. Yes, it is economical; otherwise it wouldn't be getting built. We could have had northern gateway; we could have had energy east. We could alleviate the price discounts that Canadian producers are paying.
All of that then turns into more resource royalties for governments, both provincial and federal, more jobs and more taxes. That's how we're going to get out of this. If we should be doing anything right now, we should be stepping on the gas and getting our resources to market. We have a tremendous opportunity.
When we talk about transitioning to a greener economy, I used to think the last person with oil in the ground was the winner, because you'd have energy. Now that's not the case. Now you want to be the first person to get rid of it. We should be stepping on the gas and selling our resources to the world while we still can, and then taking that money and reinvesting it into other areas of the economy and bailing ourselves out from all the money we're spending on COVID.
