That is still quite vague. We don't know how much public money would be invested in the infrastructure.
Mr. Johnston is an expert in market research for the oil sector. I think he's well informed about those aspects.
I would like to get a clear commitment from the government to ensure that something like TMX doesn't happen again. In that case, the government covered the infrastructure costs that the private sector did not want to take on.
That said, I understand that the Alberta government is prepared to stick its neck out, but there would be a gross injustice. You know, all the infrastructure used in Quebec to export energy was paid for by Hydro‑Québec. We never received federal support for that. When funding for power lines in Newfoundland and Labrador came up for discussion, there was quite a hue and cry in Quebec. If oil infrastructure were once again federally funded, that would be very unpopular in Quebec.
