I am a federal MP. If I was a provincial MLA, you and I would probably not be using the same tone this morning. But I will be respectful of provincial policy. Unfortunately, I think that the discussions between the industry and the people were an abysmal failure. Disgraceful actions have been taken. I am not talking about you, but about some drilling companies in particular. We can speculate about international prices, but I don't think we should speculate about people's quality of life, even if there is compensation. But that's a different story.
I would like us to look at the Canadian government's role in more detail. I don't want to talk about funding. Quebec made a social choice and we shouldn't go there. There are already other issues like that. I would rather talk about the role of the National Energy Board.
I did not hear you talk about environmental assessments, which are now part of the board's responsibilities. To your knowledge, have there been environmental assessments on the impact of shale gas in Quebec specifically?
In New Brunswick, the situation is currently the same.
