Thanks, Chair.
Just to finish off where we were, Minister, 13,000 indigenous people work in jobs in the energy sector. As you know, indigenous people make up about 4% of the national work force but 8% of the energy sector. Indigenous people make three times more in the oil and gas sector than they do in other sectors. Indigenous women in particular make very much more than others in other sectors. There is lower unemployment among indigenous people in the oil and gas sector than in the rest of the economy.
Knowing that the oil and gas cap will kill hundreds of thousands of Canadian oil and gas jobs—every expert says so—I just wonder how you can possibly justify bringing through policies that will kill the jobs, the livelihoods and the future aspirations of those people you always say you care about most.
