Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, Mr. Oblath, Mr. Houle and Mr. Rocheleau.
First of all, I think it's important to point out that the employees of your refinery are the ones who will be most prejudicially affected by this situation. Of course, I'm referring to the 400 or 500 employees who will lose their jobs or may be displaced. It appears to be difficult to secure an official sale. We support your committee, but we don't know exactly what direction it is taking. Furthermore, there seems to be a second phase, and that worries me a little.
Mr. Oblath, I would like some additional details. Supposing that you convert the refinery to a terminal—I say “supposing” because that has not officially occurred yet. What exactly will you do with the employees? They want to know exactly what to expect. I would like to know what social and business plans you have in place for these employees. They will be the ones in difficulty, not you. You are going to keep your job, but they will lose theirs.
So, I would like a lot more clarification in that regard. This is an important question.
