We have a condition where 99% of our oil is sold to one customer, the United States. There is a fundamental responsibility that we expand the capacity to go to other markets. Canadians deserve well-paying middle-class jobs. That is what we are focused on. We will move forward on this project in the right way, respecting the environment and at the same time engaging with indigenous peoples in a meaningful two-way dialogue.</p>",

Actuellement, 99 % du p\u00e9trole canadien est vendu \u00e0 un seul client, les \u00c9tats-Unis. Nous avons la responsabilit\u00e9 fondamentale de doter le pays de la capacit\u00e9 d'exporter sur d'autres march\u00e9s. Les Canadiens m\u00e9ritent des emplois bien r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s et dignes de la classe moyenne. C'est l\u00e0-dessus que nous concentrons nos efforts. Nous r\u00e9aliserons ce projet correctement, en respectant l'environnement et en dialoguant sinc\u00e8rement avec les peuples autochtones.</p>"
