By the way, as I listened to the testimony of all the witnesses, I came up with enough questions for about an hour of discussion. Unfortunately I don't see my colleagues agreeing to give me that much time; probably the seven minutes is going to be it for me.
I'm going to turn now to Professor Leach. I'm going to ask you about the point you made that rather than taking jobs from Canadians, foreign refining capacity, which can cost effectively transform bitumen into higher value products, has a very important implication for Canada. It increases the implied value of bitumen, which is, after all, what we should want as owners.
As parliamentarians and as Canadians, shouldn't our objectives be employment and broad benefits for as many Canadians as possible? When you say “owners” here, what's your take? How would you respond to that question?
