Thank you, Mr. Trost.
Could I please get one clarification? Because of some of the questions Mr. Cullen was asking of officials and people we've met with along the way, two things occurred to me yesterday that sorted out my mind on this water question. I just want to clarify whether I'm correct on data that's a little bit older and current data.
There were two things. One was the comment you made in your remarks today about recycling the water. From some of the data we heard from Pembina and recent witnesses, it occurred to me that there was a likelihood that they were counting the same water twice in terms of the use of water in developing a barrel of oil, and that this is in fact recycled water. It's the same water used eighteen times, and it's counted by previous data eighteen times in measuring the amount of water you're using. It's all the same water. It's just used over and over again.
This has been more frequent recently because you've been able to use the water from the tailings ponds, since it has settled out now, whereas you weren't able to use that water for many years. It takes a while until you are able to use it. This is something that will change the perspective considerably, too, because you're able to recycle that water and use that water over and over for a lot of uses. Is that correct, or have I misunderstood things?
