Right. That's a fair point.
Mr. Wright, I was confused by your comment about there being no special tax allocations to oil and gas, particularly because in part of the budget submissions this year, there's further tax alleviation being sought by the industry. But the Canadian exploration expense, the Canadian development expense, the Canadian oil and gas property expense, the capital cost and accelerated capital cost allowance expense—these are all in place to alleviate the tax burden on energy companies, oil companies, as well as some other industries.
My question is this. There was a budget memo leaked in May of this year that, from the finance department side...they said if Canada has made this commitment at the G-20, which my colleague read out earlier, in terms of removing subsidies to the oil and gas sector because they're harmful to the economy and they're harmful to the environment. If they don't exist, why are internal memos in the finance department asking the government to consider removing them?
How can they remove something that doesn't exist, in your view?
