We will begin by being fair and by going on Canadian time, which means it is early in the morning for meetings. We have plenty of time. I am not a geophysicist or a petrochemical expert either. Can the delegation explain in layman's language how Canada is being treated unfairly? Is this an issue of the type of oil and the extraction process used in acquiring it, or is it the substance or composition of the crude oil that Canada is placing on the international market? I am unsure what the difficulty is.
