As the member of Parliament who represents the bands at Hobbema, in that treaty area, I know they've got a lot of expertise. They've done Samson Oil and Gas, and so on. Unfortunately, the resource base they once had has subsided, but I know there is some expertise there.
However, the unemployment rate is really alarming in spite of the fact that they have expertise in a first nations band in the heart of the Highway 2 corridor between Edmonton and Calgary where there is virtually zero unemployment in the surrounding communities. There are obviously some issues that need to be resolved.
I would like to go now to Mr. Brown and ask a question on the international side of things.
When it comes to governance and so on, not every ship or tanker in the world is registered in Canada. There are international protocols and international governance that prevails. Could you let this committee know, if we're looking to diversify our products, and if we're going to be shipping liquid natural gas and oil in tankers from our coast much more so than we already are currently, what confidence can this committee have in reporting to Parliament that the international standards and governance on everything surrounding shipping can be counted on while we try to diversify our market access?
