Thank you, Mr. Chair. We thank both ministers for showing up today and giving us an hour of their time combined. It's much appreciated.
First of all, Minister Wilkinson, I heard your comments here, which echo what I have heard several times from you and your colleague here at the table and your Prime Minister: that we can have this and we can have that too. I think it's fair to say, if you look at a portfolio of solutions, that we can have some of this and we can have some of that, but we can't have all of both. Let's get towards reality here about what our future looks like. I would like you to put that on the table here first of all.
I'm going to ask you, because you were at the IEA meetings, as was I, a couple of weeks ago, and we heard quite clearly that the world is demanding more energy from Canada as it tries to ween itself off Russian energy. That has been a course they've taken that is the wrong course, and now they're seeing the results of that course. You committed to an additional 300,000 barrels a day of Canadian energy by the end of the year, and that would be a stretch. I think we've talked about that. However, the question is, how do you give 300,000 barrels a day—4% of Canada's current energy production—and think that makes a drop in the bucket for Europe's security?
