Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Let me state at the outset, taking your last question first with respect to wind energy in Canada, I think wind energy will play a very important role in Canada's future energy mix. It's growing. There's enormous opportunity. Obviously it's a very clean form of energy; there are absolutely no emissions, so it's something we're very supportive of. I know you would love for me to suggest any kind of specifics, but obviously I'm unable to do that.
With respect to your capital cost allowance issue with respect to the oil sands, this was brought in, as you know, by the previous government in 1995. It was not even done for the entire oil and gas industry; it was only done specifically for the oil sands in the Fort McMurray region. It was done, as I understand it, to attract the investment dollars required to make those investments.
I've heard your representations. I will pass those along to my colleague the Minister of Finance. As you know, this is clearly a matter for the Department of Finance and the Minister of Finance as they move forward, so it properly belongs in the Finance pre-budget submissions or consultations. That's something I could not even offer a comment on. You would have to get that from my colleague, the Minister of Finance. It's clearly within his purview.
Thank you.
