That's true, though the government is the one approving these applications.

I'd like to move on. I want to consider the lack of refinery capacity. I'm a former manual labourer at a refinery that is closed now in British Columbia. There is a lack of new upgrading capacity, new refining capacity. This is a major problem. If we had in place a national energy strategy that put the focus on added value and, instead of importing into eastern Canada, put the focus on upgrading and refining here in Canada, would that make a difference to your members?
