Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I know that you have no control over taxes or anything that has to do with taxes. This is normal and has existed for years. Canada can intervene only with regard to the profit margin made by refineries. The price of refining is so high that oil prices can remain steady or fluctuate. The prices change and they are set on an ad hoc basis.
In your document, I see that the estimated cost of crude oil is fairly stable, but the curve of refining costs is staggeringly steep. You said that crude oil prices were set by other nations. Therefore, we have no control over crude oil, and the taxes do not change. However, can we do anything about the price of refining?
