The numbers are huge, but the one that's closest to my heart relates to local government. The local government taxation—municipal taxes—to pay for municipal services such as solid-waste management, 9-1-1 response, regional parks, and all of those kinds of things, will be in the neighbourhood, over the 30-year economic lifespan of a pipeline, of almost $1 billion. That will go to small and large communities all the way from Bruderheim, Alberta, to Kitimat, B.C.
