Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, for giving me this opportunity.
This question will be to Mr. Liepert.
First of all, thank you for coming all the way here.
In your presentation, Mr. Liepert, you talked about the demand for energy in the coming days, that it will increase. You also talked about energy, specifically about the oil sands and how they're beneficial to the rest of Canada, and you tied it with the jobs throughout Canada, whereas the NDP leader, during the 2008 elections, wanted to stop any expansion in that industry.
My question is on the economy. Would you elaborate on some of the economic relationships that have been built between Alberta and the rest of Canada as a result of Alberta's success in the oil and gas industries?
