Thank you very much.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
As you understand, the committee has chosen to do a study of the “cross-Canada benefits of developing the oil and gas industries”. Now, I might personally have chosen a different study or a different wording of that, but it may be somewhat obvious to you that the Liberal Party doesn't have a majority on this committee.
But what I'm curious about is if we're doing a study on the benefits of developing the oil and gas industries, as you know, why would you do a presentation dated today on the economic benefits of the Canadian energy industry, in others words, as opposed to only oil and gas? I think it would be great to be examining the whole energy industry, but we're not doing that.
