Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Perhaps someone can answer a question I asked the minister a little earlier.
In my view, there is a principle which applies to every project, and that's social acceptability. I'm thinking in particular of a project in my riding, in my region, where GNL Québec had to pay for trying to convince the public that any repercussions on people would not be significant. To address those concerns, GNL itself had to pay for the various costs associated with that.
I always remember what the Deputy Prime Minister said, namely that there would be no additional spending of taxpayers' money on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. So I have a hard time understanding why you are asking for $811,000 in the supplementary estimates. That's taxpayers' money, isn't it?
