Like Mr. Julian, I was pleased today. It seems to me that if we're looking at the benefits, you can't do that without basically doing a balance sheet of the pluses and minuses, and I'm sure most of us would expect that there are a lot of pluses.
Secondly, just as a clarification here, in terms of the wording we've been giving out to the witnesses and others, according to the minutes from the committee's December 9 meeting, it was agreed:
That the Committee undertake a study on the benefits experienced across Canada from developing the energy industry with a focus on oil and natural gas.
Different wording than that has been used in various things. I think it's important that we stick to the wording that we agreed upon, and so far that's aside from the fact of whether or not it really makes sense that we're looking at the energy industry and not looking at nuclear, tidal, hydroelectric, thermal, and wind, as if those aren't important. But at least we ought to stick to the wording that we adopted.
