I'm just going to ask all of my questions of all of the various witnesses right up front and hopefully there will be enough time during the remainder for them to be answered.
My question for Mr. Edwards is based on the regulatory environment. We haven't spent a whole lot of time talking about Canadian expertise when it comes to the regulatory environment. Canadian companies, while they sometimes complain they're frustrated with the Canadian federal and provincial regulatory environments, will say that the certainty and predictability of these regulatory environments is the best in the world, insofar as being able to allow them to operate. I'm wondering, Mr. Edwards, if you can talk about what Canada could do insofar as offering regulatory expertise is concerned.
My question for Mr. Hill is about his comments about the required pace of infrastructure construction versus the current pace of infrastructure construction when it comes to the infrastructure deficit insofar as our exporting capabilities are concerned. If the current situation in Ukraine isn't enough to prompt us to get the current pace up to the required pace, what conditions would need to change in order to get us there? If a soft invasion of eastern Europe from Russia is not enough, what would be the conditions required?
For Mr. Dem'ianiuk and Mr. Aslund, I have a question that's geopolitical in nature. I firmly believe that Russia has their eyes squarely fixed on the Transnistria and Odessa region which would effectively cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea. If they were able to get these territories within their control beyond what they already have, I'm just wondering what the impact of that control would be on the continental European energy scene.
