Transport committee  One of the things I'd like to make clear is that the work that's going on is very focused on ensuring we have a safe protocol for handling the crude oil. It was noted that there is a variety of different kinds of crude oil, and the ones that are the most volatile are the ones tha

Transport committee  As I mentioned, the gross revenue picture for our industry is in the range of $100 billion a year, but that, as I mentioned, services all our cost structure. It also services a wide range of other things. Similar to Mr. Boag's response, some of our members are multinational compa

Transport committee  To the extent that it's public information for some members, it would be available through various means, but we don't collect and monitor that information.

Transport committee  Maybe it would be useful to pass it over to our witnesses in Calgary for more specifics. They are most closely associated with the working group that's been working on this issue.

Transport committee  Yes, that's the revenue stream from all of our member companies combined.

We have to evaluate it through the process of exploration to determine the quality of the resource and then assess the overall cost structure to come to terms with its overall viability. It wou

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  The one example that comes to mind is that recently a proponent in the central Mackenzie Valley region made an application to do a drilling project. In the process of going through their review, they decided to refer it, I think, to a full environmental assessment for the drillin

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It's an exploration project, I think, in shale, yes.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  These are nascent exploration plays at this point in time, so they're the first of the projects that are trying to be pursued in this particular environment.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  No, I'm not.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I'm not really in a good position to respond to the question on international timelines, because I haven't been briefed on the international timelines for this particular type of activity. I can say that for our industry right now the environment in greatest competition with th
