Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It unlocked the full potential of the Canadian oil sands. That's when the sector grew. With 80% of the jobs being created in this country—the new jobs—the vast majority have been in the oil sands in Alberta, in Saskatchewan, and to a lesser degree in Newfoundland. That's where we have really seen the jobs grow.
My question for you, Mr. Hakim, is this. Since this wonderful development and the demand that has been put on Canadian workers since this deal was been signed by Mr. Chrétien, is there collaboration among the big players there? When you look at turnaround times, and when you look at the bodies that are needed, when Syncrude does a shutdown in a rotation—there are probably 400 Nova Scotian tradespeople who go in and do one of the major shutdowns—do the companies sit together and say, “Okay, we're going to do our major shutdown in April and the first half of May, and then Suncor will do theirs”? Is there a rationalization for the timing on those big projects?
