When you look at how we got to where we are today, the original proponent was going to build this project, and I wouldn't say it was a lack of interest on their part. I think what happened—and they've made it pretty clearly known—was a lack of political will and regulatory certainty. They already had the approval in place, and then the goalposts kept moving repeatedly. Those delays and the lack of clarity and certainty by the government are what ultimately chased them away, which then forced the government to step in and buy this this pipeline.
A prospective buyer is probably going to want to buy it for as little as possible to maximize their revenue. That is just good business sense on their part. We're here to defend the taxpayers' dollar at the end of it, and we're looking at what the government has spent on it.
When you look at government regulation—again, it prevented the proponent from building—and then you look at the pancaking of these new regulations, like the emissions cap, the fuel regulations that they're imposing and the way the carbon tax is being piled in on top of things, as a proponent, why...?
Where is the future going to be for these guys if they're going to spend that kind of money on a project, yet this is what's happening? How does the government expect to get full value when they're pretty much literally shooting themselves in the foot here—shooting the taxpayer in the foot—by imposing all these policies on people? That has to be a painful pill for a prospective buyer to swallow.
