Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I join you in welcoming our witnesses back.
Thank you so much for being willing and taking the time to come back for us to ask you some questions. I did review the material we have, and I want to just put back into context the fact that both the bureau and the NEB identified four factors that were part of the reasons we had a propane shortage last winter. I was glad to hear that in the study you did you were consistent in your findings. I appreciate that.
I guess one of the things that need to be very clear in the minds of members of Parliament is what the federal responsibilities and provincial responsibilities are. I wanted to give you an opportunity to speak to that just a little bit more and to refresh our memories in terms of our responsibilities with regard to regulating propane in Canada. I know there are some shared responsibilities federally and provincially when it comes to natural resources, so you may want to touch on those and then speak specifically to propane.
