Thank you.
Mr. Bruneau, this morning I had the opportunity to visit the Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology here in Ottawa. Your presentation was very real to me because I saw what you were talking about, such as energy loss and some other matters. We talked about analyzing district energy systems. In short, I saw a whole series of examples, and I found your reference to them extremely interesting.
For the committee's purposes, I want to ask the following question; perhaps you have an opinion on this matter. With regard to science and technology, what should be our government's priority in relation to supporting tar sands extractions? How do you see this situation?
