Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Even though Mr. Thomas-Muller chose to use the words “tar sands” instead of “oil sands”, I am pleased to see that all witnesses today realize that energy security in Canada is very important. They also realize the important role that oil and gas play in this. I thank them very much for realizing that.
My question is to Mr. Schmidt from Calgary, Alberta.
First of all, I welcome you to Ottawa.
What are some of the elements of Canada's fiscal regime that you see have been helpful for companies like yours that are looking to attract capital? What can be done to improve Canada's oil sands as an attractive place to invest?
