This is a great question, not just for Canada in general but obviously for the province of Quebec also.
We supported the decision by the National Energy Board, in particular, to approve the reversal of line 9B. It is a safe way to transport energy products. It's environmentally responsible and will create jobs and long-term prosperity.
I spoke at a forum in Montreal. Since we're using metaphors, as a former nurse, maybe I should say mine. We've had drilling, and energy and drive. There was a palpable enthusiasm. If I were to take the pulse of our industry stakeholders in Montreal to ensure that Quebec was participating in the opportunities related to your question, line 9 will transport western Canadian oil east to refineries in Montreal and LĂ©vis. This pleases the industry. They'd like to get back into that business more substantially.
Of course, it goes without saying that every barrel of oil from western Canada displaces a barrel of oil coming from a foreign source, which will assist Quebec obviously in ending its dependence on, as you particularly pointed out, Algerian oil.
Line 9 is a made in Canada solution. It's the reversal here.
We'll have the benefit of protecting jobs in Quebec and across Canada. I believe this will create an opportunity to further develop the confidence and understanding that Canadians in communities across this great country will have in our efforts to ensure that we have world-class, world-leading pipeline safety.
It's designed not just to address international markets but, as your particular question points out, to address demand and capacity, particularly in Quebec, for our energy products. To that extent, it's a win-win for us all.
