International Trade committee  I'm trying to think of the acronym, but there's an oil and gas labour think tank that's partnered with Enform Safety Association that does a lot of the work you're talking about, looking at trends, looking at putting forward where training dollars should be going, so we're traini

International Trade committee  That part of the labour component, I think, was essential on many projects over the last several years. I couldn't quantify it with an exact number, but we have seen substantial build-out in many sectors in Canada over the last decade and—

International Trade committee  Yes, I think it's a fair statement that you could certainly find projects where that was essential.

International Trade committee  Yes, absolutely. We represent the upstream, be it offshore Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick. We represent British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. We have members that are located in Quebec, where we have found some resources, Really, it's across the coun

International Trade committee  Thank you.

International Trade committee  Again, that's a very good question. To put this in a bit of context, we've seen worldwide capital expenditure pull back when the price of oil goes from $95 a barrel to $30. Everybody has pulled back, but Canada has pulled back farther and deeper than anywhere else. Our percentag

International Trade committee  Absolutely. I think that's a work in progress. It's better today than it was 20 years ago. I think, though, our ambition here should be high. As the committee member Ludwig said, some of the experts and technical folks from her part of Canada have contributed to Alberta and Saska

International Trade committee  I think you're referencing CAPP's June forecast, where we look out to 2030, and the production forecast.

International Trade committee  With the lower prices and the lower investment we saw last year and into the future, we thought that instead of growing with a curve of this slope, we would be down by about a million barrels a day in 2030, albeit still growing. We'll bring out an updated forecast in June again.

International Trade committee  It's possible that our organization has been in contact on this issue, but I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.

International Trade committee  Yes.

International Trade committee  That's a great question. We are bringing in diluent from the west coast. As well, it's coming in from the U.S. Some of what comes into the U.S. is likely imported into the U.S. and then is flowing through a diluent pipeline into Canada. It is a challenge, a structural challenge.

International Trade committee  Absolutely. Knowing the oil and gas business and speaking on their behalf, our entrepreneurs do branch out around the world. Some of the modern drilling techniques that we are using here are today.... We have Canadian-based companies, not always Calgary-based, that have the major

International Trade committee  Potentially, if I stray too far into the geology world, I will not be speaking from knowledge. Each clay has uniquely different characteristics. We have horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracking, which are different completion techniques. Fracking is just one completion techni

International Trade committee  I would say in very specific skill sets, potentially. I don't know the details on that. We have seen our capital expenditure drop from about $81 billion in 2014 to today, when we are expecting 2016 to be about $31 billion. We've lost $50 billion worth of capital expenditure, so t
