To refer to my colleague, I just want to say that Northern Gateway was approved by the Conservative government, along with 17 other pipeline projects that were recommended by the National Energy Board and approved by the Conservative cabinet. I simply wanted to clarify that and correct his comment.
Interestingly, you said one of the first priorities of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce is that our energy sector be competitive and you talked about your support since 2011 of a price on carbon. I find those two points not very compatible, and the reason I say that is that now our biggest competition is the United States when it comes to our energy sector. The United States has lifted its ban on exports. It has doubled its production over the last five years, and I know my colleagues will say much the same. Eighty percent of Canadian jurisdictions have some sort of a price on carbon, including Alberta, which announced this earlier this year, and it has made absolutely no difference in terms of getting pipeline projects approved. It hasn't changed the social licence, for lack of a better description.
Has the viewpoint of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce changed its stance in terms of thinking a price on carbon is going to be a critical part of us being competitive? I ask this because I don't think those things mesh.
