Well, I have a vision. What we need to do is bring large volumes of partially upgraded or upgraded bitumen to eastern Canada. We may eventually have an opportunity to bring as much as two and a half million barrels to a major pipeline hub near Montreal, where we could expand the existing petrochemical industry and help ensure that the refineries in Montreal and LĂ©vis, Quebec, have a source of feedstock for literally hundreds of years into the future, and to take some of that oil to Saint John and allow Irving Oil to expand their refinery to 600,000 barrels a day to allow them to export more refined products to the U.S. eastern seaboard and Latin and South America. That would also provide an opportunity for the petrochemical industry to grow in Saint John.
I would also like to see an extension of Energy East to Canso, Nova Scotia, and perhaps with a spur to the moribund Dartmouth refinery. Canso is an ideal port for the export of large volumes of upgraded bitumen, Syncrude conventional oil, in particular to India. The shortest distance from Edmonton to India's west coast, where the major refining centres are, is through Canso and the Suez Canal.
I think there's great scope to not only provide energy security but also create some major industries in eastern Canada if we can get an Energy East line and an Energy East line 2 going.
