Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you very much. I'm sure on its visit to Fort McMurray the committee is going to have the benefit of another perspective brought through your two deputations.
I want to follow up, just for a moment, on Mr. Trost's questions.
I would take it that the capital incentives that have been created through programs like the accelerated capital cost allowance would be an incentive, along with all the other variables that you suggested, to the production and the acceleration of production, or even the retarding, if you will, of production. Those incentives exist and are creating this kind of activity. We also have been aware that the technology can mitigate some of the spinoff effects that are occurring as a result of the production.
What would you recommend as the kinds of incentives that would also bring into balance, in that equation of sustainability, new technologies that you then would take into consideration in analyzing the sustainability of production at various levels--in addition to what you have mentioned? What incentives on those technologies would you suggest to this committee that we could pursue as a matter of public policy?
Would you take that under advisement?
