A few weeks ago, Bruno Detuncq, a professor emeritus, appeared before the committee. He told us that, other than industry-funded studies, no meaningful research had been carried out on carbon capture strategies.
I don't mean to repeat Mr. Angus's quip, which was a good one, but would you say less carbon-intensive oil was equivalent to light cigarettes or diet poutine? Is it a chimera that gives the sector permission to carry on with oil production but in a more favourable light?
Along the same lines, the industry often cites indigenous communities, as though reducing production would be a huge hindrance to their economic development.
Talk about that, if you would.
