Though one-sided, many people spoke candidly, saying look out, there is a freight train barrelling down on us. They have been overwhelmed with the demands of fracking put on local infrastructure and they said you must get prepared ahead of time. This means hundreds of millions of dollars for the installation of pipelines for oil, for gas, to supply fresh water and to take away the dirty water, a permanent network of roads, housing for big influxes of workers, and so on.
I am doing a little mini-series on fracking, so I will be continuing on this subject. As I said, we learned a lot and I will have more to share on this in the coming days. I will have questions for the Minister. Mahsi.
