Madam Chair, before I ask my questions, I'd like to make a brief comment about our guests who are here today.
It's my understanding that they are part of the Clayton Riddell scholarship program at Carleton. Mr. Riddell was someone I knew very well in Calgary and was a long-time philanthropist. We're exceedingly happy to have them here. Unfortunately, we lost Mr. Riddell very recently.
Welcome, everybody. I just wanted to make that point.
Mr. Marshall, are the oil sands mining operations part of your association?
