Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a bit of a broad question, so hopefully someone will be able to answer it in its entirety, but each of you, I think, may be able to take a little part of it. It's about timeliness.
We've heard from other witnesses going forward, and to varying degrees here today, about how things like our liquid natural gas, the potential for exports, may depend on who gets to market first, because there are a large number of projects out there. It's the same with oil. How soon we can get more into the United States depends on the political situation, and as they develop tight shale, etc., that could change things. I see basically three main categories to put these products together: capital, regulatory/political issues, and labour.
If we want to get projects done, be they for LNG, oil, or transmission and electrical lines, where do each of you see the greatest potential to slow down our projects to block our timelines? In your particular area of expertise, what would be the problems in each of those areas?
I'll start with Mr. Smillie, since I think you would deal most with the labour issue, and then go to the various other gentlemen, potentially, on regulatory and capital issues. But feel free to comment on all three of those.
