Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for being here, gentlemen. Mr. Gratton, it's good to see you again.
Mr. Gratton, I've been asking a series of probative questions of witnesses who are here as to how this overall study of northern Canada fits in with the Government of Canada's promises to reduce greenhouse gases by a certain percentage, 17% by 2020.
I want to start by congratulating your sector and you for actually referring to and putting in your deck greenhouse gas emissions, in your environmental performance quotation. Thank you for doing that, and thank you for the leadership you and your sector are showing in this regard.
Can you tell Canadians who might be following or reading this transcript.... You talk about the wonderful contributions made domestically by your members: 300,000 employees, $8.4 billion in taxes, $20 billion in capital invested annually—all very important stuff—and being major contributors to clean technology sectors. But you left out what the contribution to Canadian greenhouse gases of your members is on an annual basis.
