Natural Resources committee  Thank you for the question. A lot of the answer to your question I believe is in exactly what you said. There are cost pressures. There are human resource pressures. There are supplier and contractor issues, and it is a tremendous challenge right now addressing many of those issues in the oil sands.

Natural Resources committee  I'll take the natural gas supply and oil sands policy and leave liquefied natural gas to Mr. MacInnis. The numbers you referred to on natural gas are a reference from the National Energy Board about natural gas reserves. Natural gas reserves are what are technically and economically achievable today, and you're right, it represents today's reserves.

Natural Resources committee  Just before we do that, and to come back to the basic point, we see energy demand in this country growing by 1.5% annually. We see that forecast into the future for a significant period of time. That is new demand: people driving cars more, and having more televisions and computers in their homes.
