Thank you very much for being here.
Dr. Bruneau, I'm sure the committee enjoyed your metaphor with respect to this extraordinary layer cake that our geological character is made up of in this country, consisting of coal, bitumen, oil, and gas, and your clarion call of whether we can have our cake and eat it too. I think that is really the mission statement with respect to sustainable development, and the lens through which this committee is attempting to make decisions with respect to the sustainability of our energy vis-à-vis the various available technologies that would be part of an overall strategic plan. All of you have helped us here.
My question is very specific, and it's to you, Dr. Bruneau. You had said--and I wrote this down--that there's a tremendous opportunity to store carbon in the basin--I assume you're talking about the Athabasca Basin--that it's a Canadian opportunity, and that we are to stand back and determine how we can optimize use of products while using technologies that would focus on the byproducts that are created.
I wonder if you could give us some examples of those byproducts and the technologies. You talked about the interface. It appears to me to be a huge challenge that this committee is attempting to deal with.
