I'm on the distribution end of the spectrum, so I'll speak with two voices.
As a distributor, if my customers are happy with low-priced gas, then I'm happy. For the gas industry, if the prices of gas are low, people scratch their heads and ask if we're going to develop more gas or not. However, gas is an open market. If the price is really low, people will stop developing gas.
That may well be what happens in the province of Quebec. Maybe some of those projects won't go forward because they don't prove to be economic. So people stop drilling for gas for a while, and they work on other aspects of the energy mix. Demand goes up; prices change, and--boom--it suddenly becomes economic to develop gas again. It's a supply-and-demand relationship, which is active in the gas market and beyond the gas market, in the energy market.
If I can just take a minute to talk about this, we're the gas distribution industry, but it's not as though we see electricity as our opponent in any way. The fact is integration in the energy industry in Canada is happening more and more because that helps deliver efficiency.
If you look, for instance, in the province of British Columbia, my member is a company called Terasen, which is about to take the name Fortis. Fortis is a well-known Newfoundland company. It owns Terasen in the province of British Columbia, and it will become one of the most integrated distribution companies--gas and electric--in the country.
I can go across the country and show you the working relationship between gas and electric industries, which is a good thing for Canadians because it's helping to deliver a better energy product--a more environmentally sound energy product--at the end of the day.
