I'm going to go back again to our last witness.
One of the things we have heard very clearly, Mr. Aslund, is there are ways for Canada to help in international crises like this, other than to have soldiers' boots on the ground. We have world-class energy supplies, and oil and gas technology and expertise. What we do not have is the infrastructure. If we tell the world we are prepared to act, to move ahead, then that is a very powerful signal in what's being called an energy cold war. If we do not build the infrastructure, pipelines and LNG terminals for example, we're reducing our non-military leverage in the world. I'm wondering if you would comment on that statement, if you agree or disagree.
