Thank you, Madam Chair.
Distinguished members of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology, thank you for having us here today. My name is Marc-André Viau, and I am the director of government relations at Équiterre. I will be sharing my time with Ms. Tzeporah Berman, from Stand.earth.
We are here today as part of this committee's study on foreign investment, following the adoption of the motion. Our contribution to the work of this committee is to present to you the results of a study that my colleague conducted, and with which Équiterre has partnered, on foreign ownership of the oil sands.
This is a report that shows that 70% of the oil sands are foreign-owned. So we're wondering if it's really still a Canadian resource.
