I was interested in the way that you spoke about the tar sands. You said that water is used to extract oil from the tar sands.
Would it not be up to the oil industry to do that research? Why has the government given you the mandate to do the research at the same time as the oil industry? Is it to help the oil companies speed up the process? The deadline to find a solution to the tar sands is 2010 or 2012. By giving you the mandate, is the government not diverting the work that should be done by the oil companies?
