On the question of energy security, how is this gas going to be used if it gets developed? Will it benefit New Brunswickers, will it benefit Canadians, or is it simply going to be shipped to the United States? That's an important issue, particularly given the risks here, and that needs to be addressed.
The Geological Survey of Canada and other parts of Natural Resources Canada have important resources capacity that could support provinces like New Brunswick that lack that, that don't have the money to do the kind of baseline studies that are necessary to help protect our people and our environment.
Certainly in terms of the potential impact on future fisheries, the federal government has an important role to play there.
Finally, I think the federal government could look at developing a model regulatory framework, because we've heard the same thing in Quebec. It doesn't exist in the provinces, and it would be a great help, particularly in the provinces with little resources, to have that to look towards and consider adopting.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak to you. We'll entertain questions when it's our turn.
