I will take another stab at this one. The energy east pipeline, as it was then known.... Essentially, each pipeline achieved something different. I look at the west coast pipeline as securing security of demand. I look at the east coast pipeline as securing security of supply.
Right now, for instance, during that tariff battle and the trade war last year, there were open worries about whether or not barrels that transited through Chicago on the main line would be subject to some kind of tariff when going back into Ontario. From the exact same point about the TC Energy Mainline, which didn't go through Chicago, we wouldn't have to worry about that if we had an all-Canadian pipeline going east. The challenge, of course, is once again price and cost. That's a very long way for a pipeline to go. I think this is part of the challenge as well.
We have to make choices. Are we managing and prioritizing domestic energy security of supply, or are we trying to expand our export markets and make the most money we can as a country? If it's the latter, I would say the west coast is the priority. We can do more than one thing, but I do think it's important to have priorities.
