Mr. Speaker, my friend talked about how some of these deals get put together and questioned the validity of some of the deals.
My understanding from people I have heard is that part of the reason for it being Gros-Cacouna was the fact that the company involved with moving the oil was concerned about dealing with the Irving family in New Brunswick.
That port is open all year round. It does not freeze over. There is not the risk of the tides that come into the Saint Lawrence.
Do you see that this played any part?
