One of the things we recognize, and it's why we're working cooperatively with the provincial government and the federal government on the CO2 capture and sequestration network, is if we were to do it just for Suncor, the p

We firmly believe we can. We have done that and will continue to do that. We strongly encourage the federal governm

Natural Resources committee  What I would add to that is information on some of the research we do on reclamations. You asked about plants that grow on top of the reclaimed land.

Natural Resources committee  I would just build on that. Each company chooses its own markets to participate in, and as Mr. Carter had indicated, research and development of new technologies is extremely important to all of us. Suncor has been investing over $100 million a year in wind energy, and we antici

Natural Resources committee  If I could add to that, sir, you asked about the technology. We believe the technology is already proven, and it can capture carbon dioxide and sequester it.
