Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if we want to put a pipeline tax, this says now we're targeting them. So they're going to show up at our door knocking on it with a framed letter of comfort and say, but you said you weren't going to have something to target them. Mr. Speaker, they had nowhere else to go. We're the only pipeline in North America of this size. I mean, we're the only one. So by writing a letter to say that we're not going to unfairly target them, well, geez, if we put a pipeline tax or something similar to that nature, Mr. Speaker, then we're going to be seen as targeting them. They're going to come back. So how does the Minister defend that, or how does the Premier defend that position? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
