The discussion around oil sands has been extremely black and white. If you actually want to have responsible oil sands development, you have to be talking about what level of oil sands development achieves the environmental outcomes you need to achieve, and no one in Canada is talking about what level of oil sands development is acceptable. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2222922\" data-originallang=\"en\">Going back to the IEA's <em>World Energy Outlook</em>, it says, under the \u201c450 scenario\u201d--450 parts per million--the oil sands would only achieve 3.3 million barrels a day. There are 7 million barrels a day of proposed projects on the table currently.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2222923\" data-originallang=\"en\">So until we talk about limits and until we actually have the federal government enforcing the law on the ground and enforcing these limits in the oil sands, we're not going to have responsible oil sands development.</p>",

Keith, \u00e0 savoir qu'il faut \u00e9tablir des limites environnementales. Jusqu'ici, les discussions sur les sables bitumineux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s polaris\u00e9es. Pour d\u00e9velopper les sables bitumineux de fa\u00e7on responsable, encore faut-il savoir quel niveau de d\u00e9veloppement correspond aux r\u00e9sultats environnementaux que l'on cherche \u00e0 atteindre, et personne au Canada ne parle encore de ce niveau de d\u00e9veloppement qui serait acceptable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2222922\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'apr\u00e8s le rapport de l'Agence internationale de l'\u00e9nergie intitul\u00e9 \u00ab World Energy Outlook \u00bb, sous le sc\u00e9nario 450 \u2014 c'est-\u00e0-dire 450 parties par million \u2014, les sables bitumineux ne pourraient produire que 3,3 millions de barils par jour. Actuellement, on propose d'en produire sept millions par jour. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2222923\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tant que nous n'envisagerons pas de limites, et tant que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral ne fera pas appliquer les lois sur le terrain, nous ne pourrons pas parler d'un d\u00e9veloppement responsable des sables bitumineux.</p>"
