If it comes from those reports or if it comes from StatsCan, I would imagine that we can probably get that information. We can ask our analysts to look that up for us. We don't need to use up your time on that.
Mr. Howard, I'd like to talk to you about the petrochemical side of things.
I represent the riding of Wetaskiwin in central Alberta and all of the chemical sites associated with Joffre, which I'm sure you're probably very aware of. I'm concerned about the natural gas market insofar as production decreasing.
As you know, polyethylene plants need the sources, the wets, from these gas wells. If the production is going to go down and consumption is going down.... Could you tell the committee how important this is, not just for the purpose of heating homes, or for the other common uses of natural gas, but also for what some of the economic benefits are when it comes to the value-added component of the natural gas stream and that loss in natural gas production due to a lack of availability of markets in the United States? How important is the diversification of our markets in order to sustain not only the production of natural gas but also the value-added chain that natural gas provides?
