Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also want to talk about the tar sands and other things, and the economic impacts of the natural resources of Alberta throughout Canada. I don't understand what the NDP has against Alberta's natural resources. I'll come back to that after.
My first question is for the Montreal Economic Institute. It's a threefold question.
One, what economic benefits are there for Quebec if shale gas is developed? Also, have you done any numbers on it? The last question on this issue is this. What are some negative consequences if Quebec does not develop the resource, both in terms of the economy and regulations?
