I can use my time as I see fit. That's a selfish element of committee meetings.
If you have any figures to send to the committee, we could use them to educate people at the Canadian Energy Regulator on the law of supply and demand. I'd be very interested. In fact, we could do the same thing with Mr. Mousseau.
There are basic laws when it comes to capitalism. One of them is to take the money and gamble it, which companies unfortunately don't want to do when it comes to infrastructure. They don't want to risk it. That's why we're in this situation when it comes to infrastructure. The only infrastructure that's been built in the last few years is the TMX expansion. It cost $34 billion and Canadians paid for it.
Is it because the government has put too many regulations in place? That's easy to say, but companies also have a responsibility. Unfortunately, for some time now, companies haven't assumed their responsibilities. They don't want to invest in infrastructure.
If you have figures to show us anything to the contrary, I'll take them, and I'll be happy to change my mind.
