Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome back, Mr. Harrison and Mr. LeFort.
Regarding the issue of value added, we heard from the Alberta Federation of Labour earlier this week. They talked about the impacts of an export pipeline, exporting raw bitumen or diluted bitumen, as Mr. Calkins likes to say, and the thousands of jobs being shipped south of the border. Both of you referenced the value added.
Keeping the emphasis on exporting raw bitumen or raw logs or raw minerals as opposed to doing value-added production in Canada: what does that cost us economically?
I'd like to start with you, Mr. Harrison.
