I appreciate the opportunity to have shared Dr. Exner-Pirot's perspective on a range of topics to show that sometimes we can agree with the majority of views. She's an independent researcher and has some thoughtful arguments. I'm proud to know her. She also described the abuse of the price on pollution and the measures imposed in addition to the carbon tax, now subjectively applied across this country in a way that divides Canadians even more deeply. I think her point was especially bang on in that regard.
I appreciate the opportunity to join my colleagues for a bit of time to speak to the virtues of the Alberta and Canadian energy sectors as part of our national unity, and as part of a major contribution to our national pensions. It's important to have national unity around the question of unleashing the energy sector, because it's not just about Alberta; it's about the prosperity of every Canadian.
At this time, I'd like to cede my time to my colleague, Mr. Kurek, and then re-add my name to the list, please.
