International Trade committee Absolutely. Thanks for the question. In the critical path of what's going on, the permitting process for natural gas for the liquefied natural gas process has been very efficient. We congratulate the government on doing that. At this point it's a matter of the construction sch

International Trade committee Not that I'm aware of directly with Japan, but I know that when it comes to shipping LNG internationally and the flagging of the tankers, there are some issues there that the commercial parties are working on. It's something we could look into in more detail, but at this point

International Trade committee They've expanded not only their LNG opportunities, but their demand is also increasing. As you saw from the chart of the entire Asian demand, the fact that we're closest to Japan probably gives us the best competitive angle into Japan, but the other growth in that area is really

International Trade committee Particularly at this point in time, when they're looking at restructuring their entire energy portfolio, it's absolutely critical. As you well know, when we look at Canada, we almost look at it in the North American context—Canadian first, then North American—but we have now be

International Trade committee There's a small pipeline and right-of-way there, and it's used for natural gas. As you well know, there's also a rail line there that moves in. You wouldn't move natural gas by rail, but there is a right-of-way. It goes up to Kitimat and to Prince Rupert right now.

International Trade committee There's a small pipeline, but it is not sufficient to deal with all of the projects that are listed on the bottom of that map page. It could probably deal with the smallest one, which is a first nations partnership project. That's one of the ones that are moving ahead most quickl

International Trade committee As I understand it—and I'm not a detail person on the tariff side of things, but I did look at it—I don't believe there are tariffs on liquefied natural gas itself. There are on some of the byproducts and smaller commodities that ship as chemicals, but for liquefied natural gas,

International Trade committee Very good. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you very much for this opportunity not only to appear before your committee but also to do it by video conference. It helps facilitate the technology, as was just referred to by Ms. Sharpe. I am really appreciative of the clerk of your

International Trade committee Perfect. I won't go into this in a lot of detail. I'd like to explain what we see in the opportunities, on behalf of the oil and gas industry, to strengthen what is already a very strong relationship with Japan. As you and I and also some of your colleagues know, Mr. Chairman
