Mr. Chair, I hope that I have not lost my speaking time.
We have to watch every minute around here.
You say that you are not here to negotiate with us. I agree with you. However, we are told that you are the seller, and the other party is the buyer. There are figures on the table. If the company asks you today what your conditions are and meets them on paper, are you still for sale? Do you mind if it is Delek?
If the Government of Quebec is prepared to let that company into the province, and if the Atlantic region is prepared to accept Shell selling this refinery, as it wishes, why not sell? You were welcome here for 77 years, but, according to Mr. Rocheleau, as you have not made any money in 2009, you told yourselves that it would be best if you left. The only reason is that Shell could make a lot more money a lot faster. That's the real reason, let's say so.
Otherwise, Shell should say that it has a plan, that it wants to sell the refinery and its service stations and then leave. You would be saying thanks for those 77 years, but you want to move on. It is not for you to worry if there is gasoline or not. Governments will take care of it or worry about it.
Do you really want to sell? Yes or no? If not, are you not just looking to get a profit out of it? You made people believe that you were for sale, but you are actually not. You want to bring us oil from elsewhere and rub our noses in it. That is what you want to do. Isn't that right, Mr. Houle?
