Thank you, Ms. Collins. Sorry to interrupt you. I don't mean to be rude, but I don't have much time.
You spoke about technology to reduce the carbon footprint of the oil and gas sector. Everything I've seen about carbon capture strategies indicates that they're possible as long as the sector has government support.
I'm not an economist. However, I know that, in economics, the first principle is competitiveness and profitability. In my view, a low‑carbon oil and gas sector is neither profitable nor competitive, so it needs government support. The proof lies in the two major carbon sequestration projects worth $2.5 billion, 57% of which comes from either the Alberta or Canadian governments.
This means that the decarbonization of the oil and gas sector will be accomplished through a massive investment of public funds.
Do you agree?
