Thank you, Chair.

Thank you, witnesses, for joining us.

Mr. Lehr, you mentioned how a number of communities that you represent rely on the oil and gas industry for a huge source of your revenue, which then funds programs you're able to provide for your constituents. Could you explain a bit more about that, and how, if policies come in place that potentially could hurt that expansion or development of those resources, that in turn would hurt the people you represent?
