Thank you very much for a great comment and a great question.
For a long time—forever—our economy has been reliant on our natural resources. That is the strength we have in this country. You are right—it's not just oil or natural gas, but lumber, mining, etc. It's a foundation, and it always will be. If we honestly believe that, then I think the role of the federal government might be to focus on.... We have done a lot of work on the Canada energy strategy. I have been to several of those meetings, which are great, but what is our natural gas market access strategy? We have advocated for a very specific, focused effort on how to maximize the value of our natural resources. Having a focused strategy, having a federal government that will work with our provinces and, certainly, with our sectors, is an important part of that.
There are things we see that we can do, as an industry, as part of that. We can certainly facilitate and collaborate on the services with the value chain that we have. For example, I was just told today that building a couple of LNG plants in Canada would, just from that activity, require approximately half the production of the steel plant in Sault Ste. Marie. That's a pretty significant opportunity for the Canadian steel industry as a result of looking at market access for a natural gas product.
I think those kinds of alliances, as we build those out and come forward to our governments to explain the integrated nature of the value opportunity, are something we can do. I do believe we have a strong role to play in supporting governments, federal and provincial, and addressing the indigenous peoples' opportunities that we have in this country. We have a long history of doing that in our sector. I know other sectors have as well. We believe that's a fundamental aspect of the issues that are stopping us from getting on with the market access opportunities that we have for our natural resources, and we are committed to be quite supportive of governments as we seek to address those.
Those are two that I think we can fundamentally help change the dial on moving forward, and there are probably many others.
