Today, according to the International Energy Agency, there is an increase in demand, not only in China, but also in India, as Ms. Exner‑Pirot explained. I explained it myself in my comments at the beginning. Could Canada find a way to more easily provide other countries with something that is absolutely necessary?
As I said earlier, heavy oil has greater potential, and that goes beyond just gasoline-powered vehicles. It's interesting that countries like Japan, South Korea and China have refineries that are able to take heavy oil and turn it into products that are much more important for their economies. So Canada plays a very important role, despite geographical challenges.
