Thank you, Mr. Chair. Hopefully my voice will get through the seven minutes.
Thank you, Mr. Corey, for coming back to committee. You'll remember a question I asked you a little bit earlier; I want to ask you the same question again today, insofar as we have a few more people paying attention.
Other points of view or voices in Canada are saying that we should be refining and upgrading more products here domestically, rather than shipping bitumen or raw products out of Canada. This is something that strikes home very much to me as an Alberta member of Parliament.
I notice in your deck that in Canada, particularly in eastern Canada, we import crude oil, but nowhere in your presentation did you say that we actually import any refined products into our country. Is it fair and reasonable to assume that Canada should be able to solely export refined product while it's perfectly okay for us to import crude oil from other countries? There seems to be a bit of a double standard there.
Mr. Corey, could you elaborate on why the market is choosing not to upgrade or refine more product in Canada, particularly closer to the point of extraction in Alberta?
