Whenever we talk about natural resources, these are boom and bust industries. The fact of the matter is that we know we have finite resources and we have needs that are going to be growing. I would say that what matters most to us is to have a world that has sound rules. In this sense, I think we're all in agreement around this table that we need rules and disciplines that ensure that you're treated the same way when you do business in a country as when they come and do business in yours.
