I say that because there's a real willingness from the industry now to partner with governments. I think as a strategy for us as a nation it just makes a whole lot of sense. Anyway, I'm getting on my pulpit and I shouldn't do that.
We talked about the Chinese. I'm going to share something with you. I went to China in 2007 along with three other members, I think. Mark, you weren't there. I think there were two Liberals, an NDP, and myself. They just invited us to China. When we got back, they called me up and said they wanted to talk. Sure, great. So we had a conversation. What did they want to talk about? They wanted to talk about the environment. That's wonderful and we talked about the environment, but in the course of our conversation, they made very clear to me that they didn't do all the polluting that has caused all the atmospheric problems that we have. As a matter of fact, they're about 200 years behind us, so they figure they have lots of catch-up time and they really weren't too interested. So I get a little annoyed maybe when I hear people getting all gushy about their intentions because I'm a little more cynical.
What's going to stop the Chinese if they want, quite frankly, to start to plow through the North Pole? David, realistically, we can put all the laws we want, but the Law of the Sea.... If somebody wants to just plow across that thing, how do we approach that? How do we deal with an issue like that?
