Thank you, Peter. I can for sure.
I live in a community that has grown from 25,000 to more than 100,000. When we build an infrastructure like that, we have to put it into context. Where is it going to go, if society, as we believe it will, takes a different view on the development of the oil sands or on oil and gas and fossil fuels altogether? What do we do with a community like Fort McMurray, if that slowdown ever occurs?
When we talk about sustainability, that's what we want to talk about: moving this forward so that, as we're doing so, we maximize our ability to extract the oil sands and the value of them to build a better country. We can develop the resource to move it across the country, as the other speakers have identified so well, and build our country, whether it be through the infrastructure....
For example, we saw some real tragedies with Lac Mégantic and the transportation of the product without proper legislation, without any concern about that infrastructure being the right infrastructure for moving that resource.
The rail system is a great infrastructure, if we build it for that purpose and for other purposes. We heard about the tertiary industry being, for example, agriculture. I don't think we have the infrastructure in rail now to adequately supply that tertiary industry.
It has to be part of a strategy that means everything to us; that means we're going to be developing this resource knowing that at some point there is an end, so that we prepare for that end in the transition process; that means we develop it knowing that we have some responsibilities to the world, that we're not growing it to an extent that is not sustainable, that our strategy includes not only the extraction of the resource, but the refining and marketing; and that means we accept responsibility for emissions in all of that and come up with a target that is achievable.
If we are increasing our emissions because we are developing the resource, then we need to find other ways to reduce our total emission, and that could be by developing the right infrastructure on public transit, for example, or on rail, again, because we already know that transportation—
