First of all, I think it is absolutely necessary for this committee to understand that it was the proponent that withdrew the application for energy east. We were very clear that downstream emissions will not be part of the assessment. There is close to 175 billion dollars' worth of new investment planned in the oil and gas sector in Alberta. We will continue to support that and we will continue to repair the damage that has been done by the previous government to the regulatory process so that we can move forward.
