Thank you very much.
We read in the newspaper that Russia is planning on filing a complaint before the Stockholm Court of International Arbitration because of the environmental damage brought about by an oil and gas project. You say that Canada and Alberta are benefiting from economic spinoffs, in brief that everyone is getting richer thanks to oil sands development.
However, the people I represent often ask me the following question. How can you assure Quebeckers and Canadians that once these resources have been completely depleted, you will not simply move on, leaving behind you an abandoned mine? How can you assure taxpayers that you will not simply leave, after having taken what was there, leaving them, as is the case of the Russians, to deal with and to pay for the environmental damage left behind?
