I've just come back from International Gas Union meetings in Peru. I represent Canada in the global association for the industry. At those meetings, there were representatives from several South American countries, including Colombia, Chile, Peru and others. Overwhelmingly, the comment they made about natural gas development was that the single most effective way to reduce poverty in the developing world is to develop fossil fuel resources, like natural gas, to make affordable energy available to those who don't have it. That dramatically improves the lives of millions around the world, and it has dramatically improved the lives of millions in places like our country and Europe.
At that meeting, there was a representative from the Canadian first nations community who spoke about the opportunity that natural gas development represents to addressing economic reconciliation in Canada.
To your specific point about the profits of companies, companies are making profits as commodities rise in price. That's always the case. That's what happens in markets. I would also note that every government in this country benefits from those hard commodity prices in the generation of extraordinary tax revenues that underwrite a host of public services.
On balance, I think the economic opportunity offered by the existence of those companies and their success is great for all involved.
