I can say that I've travelled a lot, in my own role and with various ministers, to the region. Energy is one of the inescapable and key talking points for our partners in the region. They are responding very positively to decisions taken by the government to work at reducing permitting times to put more predictability into new projects. Those priorities of the government have landed with an incredible welcome in audiences across the region.
Also welcomed has been the mark of trust building or confidence in having LNG Canada phase one come online. I take the point that this was recent, but having the proof point of LNG shipments to the region from the west coast of Canada has been a major confidence boost, as has been the offtake for oil coming through Trans Mountain. I take the confident view that we have something the region wants. We have a bit more confidence that Canada can deliver, and the government has made it very clear that it wants to move even faster.
