Thank you, Minister.
Do you have any numbers for this committee, when it comes to jobs created by these pipelines? It's been suggested by others that the jobs wouldn't be that significant in the North American marketplace. As an Albertan, I spend a lot of time driving around. Every time I see a pipeline going in, I see people out there working. These are good, high-paying jobs. These are technically sound jobs.
The pipelines put in years and years ago were sealed pipelines. Now we have all kinds of different materials used for pipelines—including fibreglass—and we have all kinds of developments in pipeline technology.
Does your department know if these jobs are strictly in the installation of the pipeline or in the engineering of the pipeline? Or is there manufacturing going on in Canada and in the United States, for that matter, when it comes to making the pipeline?
