I remain hopeful. Rather than taking the course of strategic exemptions from existing legislation, we should admit our mistakes. I have three young children, and I teach them that bad choices lead to bad outcomes. If we can learn from our mistakes, as we should, and can recognize that certain bills are not serving us and are making this country unbelievably uncompetitive, just get rid of them.
I'm incredibly hopeful that our current Prime Minister is going to follow through on much of the positive talk. Industry is very much behind him. I hope for a team Canada approach.
I'm extremely worried about the path that this country is on, and it's oil and gas that can get us off that path. I'm hopeful that we'll see action in the coming months. I'm hopeful that the grand ransom or the grand bargain with the Alberta government yields fruit. I remain optimistic on that.
