Thank you, Mr. Parsons.
You said it was expected that you would receive no bids on our offshore parcels in 2023 based on a declining interest in offshore oil and gas. In late January I helped six individuals here—I have their names on my screen—Cains, Murphy, Stevens, MacDonald, Pittman and so on, good Newfoundland and Labrador names—who were trying to get a work permit to go and work in India's offshore oil and gas, in fact in exploration, so the world of offshore oil and gas exploration and development is booming.
Do you agree with the federal government's approach and with Steven Guilbeault when he says that he wants to end the production of petroleum products?
