I have not looked into this and examined Ms. Bell's concerns regarding job loss and how exporting bitumen would affect our own energy requirements in the future. I haven't seen the data on that. Before I would want to vote on this, I would like to know from Ms. Bell if she is prepared to present to me and to this committee the scientific data that would support her assertions that there would or could be job loss, and that we could find ourselves in a crisis from a lack of bitumen because we had exported it.
The National Energy Board, I would expect, would have looked at this very thoroughly and considered all of that during whatever consideration period they had, and I understand it was quite lengthy.
If Ms. Bell has some science that they weren't aware of in the making of their decision, or some science and some precise scientific data that we can look at that supports the possible job loss or the possibility of us having an energy reduction in the future, I would be willing to consider this motion based on what she says. Without that, I can't vote on this.
