Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As an Alberta member of Parliament, I would like to talk a little about the price differential. In my province right now, the opportunities for the hydrocarbons to move beyond Alberta's borders across Canada to the east, the south, and the west coast have been talked about quite a bit. All these options are being looked at. Hypothetical options are being looked at to go north to circumvent, and these hypothetical questions are being posed in light of the political environment, which is really the only environment that can stop some of these things from going forward. These are some of the issues I have.
I want to talk a little about the actual benefits of the diversification of the marketplace and what that will mean for the economics of our country, notwithstanding perhaps combining strategies, as Mr. Heaps said. But what does it mean in government revenues?
Mr. Burt, Mr. Green, I would look specifically to you for that.
Then I'll come back to Mr. Smillie and Mr. Heaps with a question afterwards.
