Thank you very much. I couldn't agree more.
If you follow the environmental footprint of oil that is brought into Canada from Saudi Arabia, Russia or other jurisdictions, that environmental and carbon footprint would far outpace anything that's done in Saskatchewan with Canadian environmental standards, plus our workers are treated much better. We'll always stand up for the hard-working men and women in the oil and gas sector. As Conservatives, that's something we are very proud of.
I want to go back to the conversation between my friend Nathaniel Erskine-Smith and Bill Bewick. That was an interesting conversation where you could really look at an easterner's and a westerner's point of view. I'd like to have Mr. Bewick finish his comments about the fact that net zero is a very ambitious goal in Canada.
What does it mean if all other jurisdictions, including some of the bigger polluting jurisdictions like India, China, Russia, and right now America, are not having the same focus on net zero as Canada? Aren't we just cutting off our nose to spite our face?
