Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for being with us.
Mr. Cloutier, I appreciated your comments very much. I found them very interesting, especially with respect to the importance of Canada's energy security. We support the idea of moving western oil to Montreal to be refined in our facilities.
Mr. Cloutier, we do have some concerns, nevertheless. I don't want to get into Canada's international reputation and the poor job the minister is doing in that regard. That's another story. We have no control over that. But we can control the government's priorities by sending the market messages.
When Suncor bought Petro-Canada in 2009, it shelved the $1.5-billion project to purchase a coker in Montreal. Without a coker, processing crude product from the oil sands isn't really possible.
Does the union support the purchase of a coker to give added value to the product, in Montreal?
