Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Bloom, the first thing I was impressed with is that you have a program called “Call Before You Dig”. Maybe if you come to Quebec for shale gas, it might be appropriate to have the industry calling people before they dig.
It's a joke, but it's pretty serious, in a sense, that you have that cultural principle to be inclusive. What's your view? We saw there is shale gas and it might be the future, but it seems there was a major problem, specifically in Quebec, in the relationship with the industry and the population. Some of the people want to be aware of a situation before having to see what's going on in the field.
What advice would you give to our committee about what the relationship should be with new energy? I'm asking because it's new for us, although it's not new in western Canada.
