Yes, and more so. Yes, we would love to file some more information about the troubles we had in this process. When Canada purchased the pipeline, the regulator of the pipeline, that made things really difficult for us.
I'm Coast Salish, and one of our longhouse leaders in our ceremonies, but also I've been adopted into sun dance families, which my brother was talking about. I have a declaration that over 30 sun dance chiefs signed, saying they opposed this because it's in our law.
What we receive in our ceremonies, which my brother was talking about, is enlightenment. Where that enlightenment comes from in ceremonies is how we all use in every single ceremony worldwide.... I have travelled the world and I have prayed in every corner of this earth. We use fire, earth, water and the sky. When we receive enlightenment, we also turn around and protect those things that we use, which are fire, earth, water, the sky and everything on top of that.
It's our law to protect what we love. It's our law to enhance what we love. That's what I was explaining about how Tsleil-Waututh introduced elk into our territory, which brought back grizzly bears, wolves and everything like that.
This is a stranded asset. If this toll goes through, it will be worse. Like I said, there will be $17 billion to $20 billion of debt that the taxpayers are going to be stuck with. The oil companies should pay for it, but if the tolling goes through, in our estimation, it's going to be $23 billion or $22 billion. Are they going to subsidize that? Is Canada going to subsidize that and put us further into debt? It's a big fear about what we're doing.
Can you imagine how we would be green energy leaders if we invested that money into something that makes sense and could help us all? If we did that, for example, it would be $180 million to build a hydrogen plant that would make 3,500 tonnes of green hydrogen a year. That would be enough money to deploy 200 heavy-duty hydrogen trucks and five fuelling stations, and it would go across with the debt of what they spent in that $34 billion. That would fund what I just explained, in 180 cities across Canada. That's what that would do. We would be green leaders, instead of funding something that's creating disasters, 434 fires and floods everywhere.
Anyway.... Okay. I saw that. I should stop.
Thank you.
