I want to continue the discussion a bit more about oil and sanctions.
As you pointed out, over 100 individuals in Venezuela have been sanctioned, including Madam RodrĂguez, and those sanctions remain in place.
The Prime Minister indicated in his trip to ASEAN, but also elsewhere, that he wants to see Canada become an oil and gas superpower. There is Canadian expertise in precisely the kind of heavy crude deep-sea extraction taking place in Venezuela. Chevron is involved in Canadian deep-sea oil extraction in the Hibernia and Hebron oil fields off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Presumably there are Canadians, not just at Chevron but also at Exxon Mobil, Imperial Oil and Esso, who are experts at deep-sea heavy crude extraction, but the sanctions remain in place.
What is the Canadian government doing to ensure that we have an opportunity to be involved in rebuilding the Venezuelan oil sector, while at the same time making sure that people are not contravening the sanctions regime that has been put in place? Maybe you could talk a bit about what's going on there.
