Obviously the two are inextricable. You can't take them apart. They're part of the same equation. I also think the question that Canada needs to ask itself.... We've won the energy lottery at the end of the day, particularly as a country. We have so many resources. I think the question is, what is our long-term plan with those resources and what are we doing with them strategically? What's the long-term investment that we're making as a result of extracting these conventional resources? I think that's fundamentally the question that we need to start wrestling with in short order. How do we leverage the endowment we have in fossil fuels and other resources to create a long-term renewable economy?
