Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Myers, I just want to try to summarize something that you talked about and see if I understand this correctly. It was based on the price control discussion that Ms. Allan was talking about. Her presentation talked about development versus exploitation, and it's an interesting cross-comparison around this price control issue. You mentioned that cheaper goods don't necessarily equate to capital retention of profits, and then those in turn right now lead to innovation, improvements on efficiencies like environmental protection from emissions, water consumption, and reclamation projects that Canadian companies are, at times, world leaders in.
It would seem to me, and correct me if I'm wrong here, that straight off the board just cheaper goods without any forethought and planning in this would ultimately lead to immediate greater consumption of a product that then in turn has some detrimental environmental impacts because you're consuming at a much higher rate. Then that doesn't leave the companies with that capital investment to create that innovation unless they're highly subsidized by the government. Would that be a sort of close summation of this issue?
