Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to take this opportunity, Mr. Reynish, to thank you very much for everything that Suncor has done in Fort McMurray in terms of housing those who were displaced. Your entire company and staff really stepped up in a very difficult time. My colleague and I spent some time in northern Alberta over the last few days speaking with evacuees and oil and gas companies and service companies and it really was heartwarming to see, in a very difficult time economic-wise, that everyone stepped up and did whatever they could for that community.
I wanted to say thank you very much for everything that Suncor did there.
My first question is to Mr. Brennan. You mentioned something that I thought was really interesting in terms of the number of barrels being imported into Canada and the economic impact of that. You were talking about a study that Unifor has ongoing—I understand it's not finished—but I'm curious. If we look at the number of barrels being imported into eastern Canada, about 740,000 barrels a day, your number was $20 billion a year leaving Canada's economy. Has your study or will your study include the economic impact of the energy east pipeline in terms of, hopefully, when energy east is approved, what the job creation would be from energy east?
You touched on it and it kind of piqued my interest that you would like to see more refining here in Canada. We have refineries in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec that have been shut down because of the lack of an oil source. Energy east would be that source. Would your study include anything, or would you be able to comment on what high-paying jobs would come from energy east being approved?
