Yes, and there were support programs for the oil and gas sector when the oil price was negative.
Now, given the astronomical profits, it is hard for me to see how you can walk away from your obligations. I don't understand why the oil and gas sector is not prepared to invest to reduce the carbon footprint of the oil it is providing.
It is difficult for me to understand the logic behind this unless it is that, to give shareholders more profits, all Canadians must pay.
