I'm going to interrupt you, if I may. It's a bad habit of mine.
So I understand that the mandate of the Energy Regulator is, among other things, to ensure the safety of facilities, but that you are unable to tell me whether, by transporting less oil, there is less risk of accidents. I have my answer: I understand that you are not allowed to give me the answer. It's obvious. What I wanted to show was the dishonesty of my Liberal colleague's question, which put you in an impossible situation. You shouldn't do that to your guests.
I understand that your role is to ensure that, once a facility is built, the energy is transported safely. Transportation includes aspects that are interprovincial in nature, and that concern safety and the national interest.
Would it be fair to say that you could have a mandate to ensure that the dirtiest oil in the world is transported in as environmentally responsible a manner as possible? Is it possible that this is your mandate?
