Mr. Chairman, I'm not sure I would agree with the characterization of profiteer. It seems to me they're out trying to make a profit, like people in any industry. I don't remember the figures, maybe Mr. Brown does, but these industries pay significant taxes to the treasuries of Alberta, Saskatchewan, the other provinces, and to the federal treasury. In fact, if you think about it, the federal treasury benefits more from the oil sands than does Alberta, so a great many taxes are being paid today to various levels of government.
I have to be upfront with you, I cannot talk about the plans under way to see how we're going to deal with LFEs. My minister and Ms. Ambrose are in active discussions about this. As my minister said, I would expect he would be able to come back to you in the autumn with some concrete ideas, but he does recognize, as I think does Ms. Ambrose, that the oil sands do cause a particular challenge with respect to greenhouse gases, and it would be their intention to include means of dealing with it.
