At this committee, I think we might interpret energy security in slightly different ways. You spoke earlier in the question to security of market and the global competitiveness, particularly in your industry, because there is so much natural gas and prices are incredibly depressed right now. They are very low, relatively speaking.
Something that confuses some of us is that the east-west connections in our energy profile in this country are very weak, whereas north-south avenues have been the historical and predominant ones. As you're a Texas-based company, you have an encouragement to have that north-south supply continue, and under NAFTA we have certain treaty obligations, but you talked about encouraging the Canadian market. Why is there a lack of investment from companies to this point, whether it be in electricity, gas, oil, or any of the things we want to use in the Canadian market, and why has there been no leadership from government to enhance our security—and I'm talking about the supply for consumers side of things—from an east-west profile, rather than importing Middle East oil into eastern Canada while exporting Canadian oil from western Canada to the United States and other markets? Why has there been so little infrastructure built between the provinces on oil, gas, or electricity?
