Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your presentations today. It's an honour to be here; my first time on this committee. I tried to get on this committee, but I ended up on health, which is just as nice, but this is sort of my background. I was the parliamentary assistant for energy for a number of years in the Alberta government. Sitting here with my two colleagues from Alberta, we're very familiar with SAGD, in situ, diluent, and things like that, but I'm really quite interested in this solid oil.
Mr. Broder, you passed around the bitumen. Of course that is something that needs diluent to push through the pipelines. The fact that you don't need a pipeline to transport it is very interesting. It's something that is apparently environmentally okay. If there were a spill, it wouldn't kill the fish. It's easy to clean up.
I just need a little bit more detail and clarification on what exactly.... Maybe you can share with us. You have a way of turning this into a solid oil, and Mr. Tan asked about the costs and environmental impact. You say there are zero emissions from converting this to a solid oil. Maybe you could just clarify a little bit more with respect to the process of going from bitumen to solid oil and then back to bitumen again at the other end.
