I checked where you operate in Quebec. I believe your largest exploration site is in Saint-Jean, with 181,000 acres close to the U.S. border. In addition, you are partners with Gastem Inc. and your share is about 56%. You are also in the Yamaska region and elsewhere together with Talisman Energy. We can see that you believe in it. In any case, you have a presence in many places.
You surely must know that a great many Quebeckers are opposed to this. The regions that you are in and that I just mentioned are densely populated. It is farmland for the most part and there is not that much in Quebec. If I am not mistaken, it makes up 2% of the land area.
You are telling us that this will create jobs, but it seems to us that they will be low skilled jobs and the highly skilled jobs will go elsewhere in Canada. You are aware that the demand for gas is quite low and that people would much rather use green energy, such as hydroelectricity and wind energy.
We have also just talked about the use of water. We believe that this will cause damage to the environment.
My question stems from the fact that the price of natural gas is low. We are told that stocks are high in North America. They are 8% higher than the average in the past few years. What is your industry's real interest in positioning yourself to extract this gas? At first glance, it seems that you are looking at exporting it.
