Absolutely.
I think I'd agree with Dr. Keith that we need to be talking about environmental limits. The discussion around oil sands has been extremely black and white. If you actually want to have responsible oil sands development, you have to be talking about what level of oil sands development achieves the environmental outcomes you need to achieve, and no one in Canada is talking about what level of oil sands development is acceptable.
Going back to the IEA's World Energy Outlook, it says, under the “450 scenario”--450 parts per million--the oil sands would only achieve 3.3 million barrels a day. There are 7 million barrels a day of proposed projects on the table currently.
So until we talk about limits and until we actually have the federal government enforcing the law on the ground and enforcing these limits in the oil sands, we're not going to have responsible oil sands development.
