Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, it is important that Canadians and Quebeckers understand hydraulic fracturing. It has been used safely in western Canada for decades. There have been no incidents of contamination of drinking water.
As I have mentioned, not one, not two, but three prominent bodies involved in the regulation of this industry, the Alberta Energy Regulator, the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission, and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources, confirmed that there has never been a proven case of well water contamination resulting from hydraulic fracturing under their jurisdiction.
