Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Tan, I appreciate your comments. They could get natural gas from anywhere, but wouldn't you rather they get it from Canada and have that market? It's a country that's politically stable. That's why they look at Canada as a potential market. We have that political stability. We have clean environmental stewardship, and a regulatory regime that no other country has. I think that's why Canada should be part of this market, and not just say they can get this somewhere else. I just wanted to put that on the record.
Mr. Yu, I want to thank you for doing this on such short notice. I applaud you and the efforts of you and your team for being proactive about what this means to blue-collar Canadians who are making their living from this industry.
I have a question which you touched on a bit. I think this is an argument, and I know some of my colleagues are talking about this as well, which is great. It's about the impact of exporting Canadian LNG to Asia, specifically China. We're replacing coal-fired power plants in China with LNG. You talked about the impact that would have on B.C.'s greenhouse gas emissions, or how it would displace that.
Have you done any work on this? Do you have data in terms of what the GHG reductions would be if you took one coal plant off line in China, or two? China has 28% of global GHG emissions, and Canada 1.6%. I think it would have a much greater impact on global GHG emissions if we started exporting LNG to the Asian market. Has your group done any work on that?
