Thank you, Mr. Chair.
When I was first elected here almost nine years ago, we started an energy caucus, and some of the predictions we got there about where natural gas production prices, etc., were going have changed a little bit over the years.
In looking at news articles about some of the tight oil discoveries down in Texas, the article I was looking at on my BlackBerry said one of their finds has a recoverable 50 billion barrels—recoverable. With that in mind, from the best modelling we have, which again will change in a year, how can the tight oil discoveries that we're seeing stateside, and potentially here in Canada, start to affect where we're going to export and how we're going to plan for exporting oil? Could something very similar happen to our oil markets to what we're beginning to see happen in our gas markets?
