Thank you to our three guests who are here today.
Dr. Moore, I'm going to start with you. I just want to start by saying that I'm hearing two different statements. On the one hand, I'm hearing that Canada has such a terrible reputation for not being environmentally responsible. Then on the other hand, I'm hearing that we have some of the greenest and the best technologies for extracting oil.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as if we as leaders are doing a disservice not just to our energy sector, but specifically to our oil and gas sector when we keep repeating this falsehood that somehow we are dirty oil extractors, and that we're not extracting our natural resources in, comparatively speaking, a responsible way.
I want to ask you, Dr. Moore, whether you have an opinion on that, and whether you think that as leaders—political leaders, academic leaders, NGOs, or whatever—we have a responsibility to speak the truth about Canada's responsible environmental record.
