The issue was that with $34 billion of public money, there was no private sector case. The International Energy Agency has warned against governments investing in oil infrastructure because of stranded assets. There was no case, and then you built them a pipeline.
What we've been told from the energy regulator and from analysis is that it would be too expensive. The toll fees would be too high to pay off the cost. Those toll fees have been capped at 22%, which means that the public is going to pick up 78% of every barrel going through the pipeline.
Will you guarantee to us that the public is not going to pay a dime and that all of the money that the public paid to the Pathways Alliance is going to be paid back, barrel by barrel?
