A minute and a half....
Thank you again for your testimony.
When I last asked you some questions, you gave the impression that there are a lot of indigenous groups that are supportive of natural gas projects and that there are many provinces, including my own of Alberta, that are very supportive of a natural gas pipeline, so what's the problem?
Realistically, you're talking about the idea that we have. We are a massive country with many provinces, many indigenous peoples that have many opinions, so the reality is is that we have to adhere to UNDRIP. We should want to. We have to adhere to provincial jurisdiction. We should want to. There is complexity in building massive infrastructure projects in this country; we can say that this shouldn't be the case, but it is the case. I know that quite well. I come from an oil family. I understand this.
However, realistically, the facts remain. This is the reality that we have. This is the reality of our situation at the moment: The potential for us to be able to get natural gas to Germany to help with Germany's immediate problems right now is quite limited. It's quite limited for us to help in 2023 and it's quite limited for us to help in 2024, 2025, 2026, and they're hopeful to not need it very much after that. Is that not accurate?
I know that you're talking about the global situation, but we're talking about Germany here. This study was about the impacts of the weaponization of energy.
That's my statement.
