Mr. Chair, we probably have one thing in common. I am from Quebec; you're from Alberta. So we are rebels with a cause, and we are clearly respectful of jurisdiction.
Saying that, we have a common role to play. There's a convention between the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta. I am pleased to say, as you know, I visited Fort McMurray, Edmonton, and Calgary to meet most of the stakeholders.
There are issues regarding monitoring. I spoke with one of your favourite stakeholders, David Schindler. There is an issue regarding the necessity, or not, of independent monitoring. I believe, like others, that it is a strategic resource, and we need to have a balance.
How would you perceive the role of the federal government vis-à-vis monitoring? Do you think we have a role to play, or are we only there to provide some expertise because we already have an agreement? From your own governance perspective, how would you see our role?
