It will indeed be cheaper. In the market, it's important to monitor all the indices for western Canadian crude as compared with those for light crude oil. There's a significant difference in price. Sometimes, the price even rises more than $35 a barrel. Economically, it is crystal clear. No oil shortage resulted from our inability to obtain it on the international market, but we have suffered repeatedly because of price increases. In the international market, all it takes is a storm or a war for prices to fluctuate pretty dramatically.
We don't think that, in the near future, we will no longer know where to get crude from because no one wants to sell it to us. But price will continue to be a problem. No one wants to be a doomsayer, but I am far from convinced that, were a very serious international crisis to occur, very many countries would send us their reserves to prevent a shortage here. There is no doubt that the Atlantic provinces and Quebec depend almost solely on foreign sources. And yes, that is troubling.
