Madam Speaker, I really appreciate a lot of the things my colleague said when he talked about economic viability, because economic viability is what puts these projects on the page, first of all.
What makes things uneconomically viable in Canada is a lack of a regulatory outcome, which we have here, although it is a border issue. That is what is holding projects back in Canada more than anything else.
My colleague talked about the expensive, difficult oil in Canada in a world that is awash in cheap oil. Cheap oil from around the world is cheaper than Canadian oil because it does not adhere to the same environmental and ethical standards. Also, it often comes from regimes that we do not want to have more dominance on the world stage.
Has the member thought about, in a world context, where demand is going and where we will have to source non-environmentally friendly oil from for the next 30 to 40 years?
