Thank you, Ms. Lapointe and Mr. Chair.
I have one question, Minister, to clarify something Mrs. Stubbs said.
On the issue of TMX, we had a witness here on Tuesday of this week whose evidence was quite clear that without the government purchasing TMX, the project would not have gone ahead. It is a project of significant national importance.
Mrs. Stubbs asked whether the conditions were right to make it an asset available for purchase. The question should properly be framed like this: TMX would not have been available at all for purchase if it weren't for the government getting involved in buying it and making sure the project went ahead. Would you agree with that?
