Finance committee  The message is that the pipeline industry has certainly been engaged with indigenous communities across the board. This is an immense linear infrastructure that's spread across the whole continent. We interact with communities across the board. We contract with those communities.

Finance committee  I think it is important to those communities in an indirect and direct way. The world is going to need the energy that we have for a long time to come. That does not discount, diminish nor in any way disparage the fact that we are evolving our energy portfolio over time. I think

Finance committee  Thank you for the question. I can't underestimate how important the resource sector in general and the oil and gas industry in particular are going to be for driving an economic recovery for Canada. We need to think about the oil and gas industry in a broader way. We have an ind

Finance committee  Yes, I certainly agree. We have provided that, but we will provide it directly to this committee.

Finance committee  There are a number of projects. We polled our members, and they came back with a list of projects—

Finance committee  Okay. I will slow down. We surveyed our members, and they came back with a list of projects that were considered shovel-ready. There are a number of projects like NGTL, and there are infrastructure projects for maintenance and expansion of operations. There are also new projects

Then with the larger corporation funding, where companies can apply and would be eligible for liquidity, bridging loans and so on.... We're optimist

Finance committee  We'll have to see what the program uptake is. It's early. We would certainly like to have seen a program like that earlier, but we're optimistic. We'll have to see what the uptake is. We're optimistic that it will help some of our companies.

Finance committee  I think there are a couple of policies. One is that clearly, as I've outlined, the industry has a significant number of projects that can be undertaken, not just in the transmission pipeline industry, but also in petrochemicals and other aspects of the industry. To enable those p

Finance committee  Well, certainly we had a long discussion about Bill C-69 a while ago. It's now been put into law. We're working with it. We're hoping that, through the implementation of it, we'll get more clarity than we had. We just have to work with it.

Finance committee  Good afternoon and thank you for inviting me here today. CEPA represents Canada's transmission pipeline companies that operate most transmission pipelines in Canada and many of the large pipelines in the United States. We are pleased to report that our systems continue to deliv

Fisheries committee  One way is to not have that ability, straight up, and recognize that with respect to pipelines, for sure, those conditions on those permits and authorizations are regulated by the NEB. They're assessed by the NEB through the life cycle of the pipeline. If there are issues, the ov

Fisheries committee  Very quickly, the NEB has been assessing and regulating this for a long time. They have scientists and qualified people who have reviewed this over a long time and have worked with DFO over that period. One of the issues was that there had been duplication of effort in the past,
