Environment committee  What I would say is that I think we need to have a very comprehensive process. I think there is a lot of work that happens with companies, so I won't speak for the pipelines. I'll actually speak for Suncor. We work within those communities. We are part of those communities. We

Environment committee  What I would say is that it's very important. Whatever we do in Canada, if we don't have a robust economy, we won't have a robust environment. They actually do work hand in hand. What I would say is that we need to have processes that actually look at all aspects of it, the eco

Environment committee  It's actually a very good idea in the sense of involving people who are knowledgeable and looking at all the facts. Litigation takes time and creates more uncertainty. Having a tribunal in those areas would really help the system. You would feel like all the relevant information

Environment committee  Suncor actually does support the idea of strategic regional assessments. We do them in our part of Alberta. I think the trick is to do them in a way that they're going to do what Stewart just said. When I was with Fisheries and Oceans, we did over 10,000 of these small screenings

Environment committee  I don't think his comments were specifically focused on the taxation. That's just part of the overall cost in our environment. When you look at where we compete, we compete with the U.S., so I don't think that would be any surprise when we look at what's happening south of us. Th

Environment committee  Given that I'm here on environmental assessment, I would like to stick with that and not get into the specifics of the taxation regime, because I would have to get back to you on that.

Environment committee  I did mention that we are supportive of a broad-based carbon tax.

Environment committee  As I stated, I think there are some aspects within Bill C-69 that need improvement in order to provide better certainty and better clarity in a number of areas. However, we do support many of the aspects within Bill C-69 around the focus on aboriginal communities.

Environment committee  I'll do a follow-up.

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  It's not just the environmental assessment. There are lots of different pieces of regulations and policy happening in this space. I think it's a combination of.... We have just finished our Fort Hills mine which was a $17-billion investment. In our industry, what we have to reali

Environment committee  Madam Chair, thanks for inviting Suncor to participate in the work of the committee as you complete your examination of Bill C-69, the impact assessment act. My name is Ginny Flood. I'm the Vice-President of Government Relations for Suncor. Previous to Suncor, I was with Rio Tin

Government Operations committee  I'll answer the first part of the question and I might get back to you on more. As we started working more and more with the aboriginal communities—if you look at the chart that we provided—our successes were over quite a while and it wasn't until we started shifting to being mor

Government Operations committee  I would say one thing from our point of view in the resource sector, that there's a lot of great work happening in this sector. It's not well known, and we're not really good at speaking about it. My background from the mining side basically taught me that you're 200 kilometres

Government Operations committee  I think one of the areas where we're seeing more growth opportunities is the area of equity partnerships. We have some of those equity partnerships already. I think that's an area where, instead of just providing the services through procurement, they actually want to be business
