0:00.0	The Hello everybody I have the privilege today of speaking with John Rustad.
0:19.3	He's a conservative MLA member of the legislative assembly in a province called British Columbia and Canada,
0:24.8	very resource-rich province and one that's on the coast that it holds a crucial
0:30.7	position with regards to the transportation of Canadian resources all around the world.
