On your report on the national energy agency, I believe it shows under the Canadian and the U.S. tracking that since 1984-85—ironically perhaps, since it's the period in which the NEP was abandoned—oil prices have been more lucrative in the United States than in Canada, although they have followed. It would appear that prices for oil are indeed cheaper in the United States than in Canada. It's something I find rather interesting, because obviously we are concerned about the costs of inputs to manufacturing. If you look at the red and the blue graphs—the blue representing the United States, and the red representing Canada—it would appear that oil prices in Canada are indeed higher than the United States.
So the traditional arguments trotted out by the industry—taxes, lack of competitiveness, etc.—seem to be borne out in the fact that the price of oil over the past 15 to 20 years, with few exceptions, has always favoured the United States, a net importer of oil.
