You weren't kidding when you said that's a high-level question, Mr. McLean, and you're right to pose it.
No. I don't agree with that assessment. I would say, first of all, that we are looking at making very strategic investments in the sector. I would also say that there are many other departments—and I think here strongly of Innovation, ECCC, and Infrastructure Canada—that have helped us make the investments that we need to make, particularly when we look at the challenges facing our energy industry and things like net zero and the net-zero accelerator. I would like to think that, in fact, the natural resources sector is so high on our priority list that it sometimes branches out beyond this one department.
I have made quite clear where we stand as a sector in driving this economy. If other ministers and departments want to share in that enthusiasm and in that wise investment, then I welcome it.
