Thank you to all our witnesses for being here.
As usual, we have a lot of expertise here and not very much time to get to it, but I thought I'd make one comment on what we've heard. It seems somewhat ironic to me that we have my colleagues across the way, the NDP, advocating for a carbon tax, when we've also heard that this may be the thing that's actually putting our industry at risk of losing some of the benefits to Canadians, and at a disadvantage in the market when our chief competitors, the U.S. for one, do not have such a carbon tax. We have some of the best examples of environmental practices in the world, Suncor being an example of one of them, and Kearl, which was mentioned today, being another example of them.
Seeing as we're here to talk about what the benefits are of developing the oil and gas sector, I want to go into the jobs issue a little more. I'm wondering if I can ask Jean Côté what benefits you expect to see in Quebec, and maybe you could just drill down a little bit, as a direct result of Line 9 and the east-west pipeline.
