RE: not sure if this article posted thesheet: first of all, you must mean "in short or even medium term" NOT "in short or even medium turn" that doesn't even make any sense and you don't put in a "stick bid", its called a "strink bid". Finally, I'm from the prairies and I've done business in Quebec for several years. The province is beautiful, however it has been my experience that dealing with the french is very difficult and not a pleasant experience at all. I hope the PQ government does not handcuff the efforts of the oil and gas industry. For a province that is $184 Billion in debt and consistently looks for federal handouts they are not in a position to turn down revenue in their own backyard. Quebec reminds me of a 30 year old "child" living at home with his/her parents. When the "child" wants the parents to buy him/her a car or pay for a vacation and they refuse, the "child" throws a tantrum and threatens to leave until he/she is appeased. If the parents said "then leave!"....the "child" would expect the parents to pay for his move and provide ongoing support. Sorry folks....no free lunches anymore.Quebec, if you want to pay down your debt and create jobs, the oil and gas industry is a great place to start. Just don't make it too difficult for companies to operate or they will pack up their rigs and leave and you can say "au revoir" to all the taxes and royalties that your province desperately needs.
