Thank you.
Thank you very much, Mr. Minister, and thanks for being here today.
I want to say that I particularly appreciated your championship of a balanced budget in 2015. That is something that will help the entire resource sector and Canadians by keeping their taxes low and something that's the number one priority for my constituents in Calgary Centre. I wanted to mention that.
I have to say that maybe “elated” is too much of a strong word, but they are certainly relieved that we have a balanced budget, given that oil prices are now about $60 a barrel. They also are appreciative of your incisive leadership on both energy and the environment. One of the examples that I had cited to me was the $80 million that we have announced over five years for environmental protection.
I want to ask you, in light of the $60 a barrel WTI right now, my constituents are really interested in our being able to take advantage of export opportunities, particularly in the clean LNG sector.
You started to answer the question, but I believe you were cut off across the way, so I would like to hear from you exactly what that tax break looks like, how it could be used, and why, please.
