I completely agree. That's why the government has said that if there is a project that goes to the northwest coast, that would be something we'd consider.
Mr. Buffalo, I'm going to turn to you.
You mentioned that energy east, Keystone XL and northern gateway were cancelled. I worked on all of those projects, actually. Energy east wasn't cancelled, but it is a difficult problem to work out on pure economics. It is a long way to go if it's going to a place that requires more infrastructure. It is much faster to go west or to Churchill, but that might not be in our national interest. Infrastructure that goes west-east across the entire country is probably what's in our national interest.
Without distorting the market, how do we incentivize the development of such projects, when, frankly, when you're on tidewater it's cheaper to move oil? The basic economics are to get to tidewater as fast as possible.
