Let me ask you another question, then. According to StatsCan, Canadian energy exports increased last year, driven by an 8% increase in natural gas. The agency added that, in 2022, the United States increased exports of LNG to Europe and increased its imports of Canadian natural gas to compensate.

Would it not be better for Canada to directly export its own LNG, taking advantage of the higher margins that LNG has vis-à-vis natural gas via pipeline to the United States?
