and i think the problems also exacerbated by the lax enforcement in afghanistan, the afghanistan governmentas passed a law banning the chemical, but pakistan has not yet done so. and we know that ammonium nitrate is commonly used as a fertilizer but in pakistan, most of the farmers used urea, an organic chemical to fertilize their crops and there is only one plant in afghanistan that manufacturers ammonium nitrate. can you give me your assessment of the ied threat and can you provide us with the detection rate? and is there -- do you think progress in working with the pakistani government to stop this flow of ammonium nitrate into pakistan -- into afghanistan which is, i think, the basis of so many of these ieds? >> well, thanks very much, senator. by the way, i spoke to that great seventh group noncommission officer myself yesterday and he is, indeed, a very inspirational american. and i actually think it is very realistic that he will be back in the fight by the next time that his unit deploys. with respect to the detection of ieds, obviously a number goes up and down, but we are somewher

oil production declined between 2001 and 2008, and that's with generous tax subsidies and lax legislation. in 2001, they produced 2.1 billion barrels a year, and in 2008, we produced 1.28 billion barrels a year. during obama's administration in the first year, i know people think this is ironic, we saw production increase to 1.957 billion barrels of oil per year. you know, about 2 billion barrels a year were back up to where we were in 2001. average monthly production which did decline during the moratorium in issues new deepwater drilling permits was 143 million barrels for december. that's the latest data we can find. during the last month of the bush administration, domestic average was 156,000. there's a difference of 20,000 barrels roughly that we are producing over and above what we were during the last month the bush administration. i say that noft so much, mr. simpson, but there's been a number of people, colleagues, that put forward a point of view that i don't think is supported by the facts. we're less than 5% of the world's population as i say consuming 25% of the world's oil.

from the american side, there's a tendency to view canada through the lens of the foils lax bomber..s. immigration laws as that time were not tight either. we suddenly imagine they have not made any progress. they have made a tremendous amount of progress. there's a lot of cooperation between the two governments to try to keep out people we are concerned about. from the canadian side, their problem continues to be mistrust having to do with information sharing with the united states. they are reluctant to cooperate on a real-time basis with the united states, for instance, on sharing information on people coming into canada. does the u.s. government note things about those people that the canadian government should know? it goes back to that case where the canadian government shared a lot of misinformation back to the united states and he was sent back to syria to be tortured. president obama and prime minister harper signed a positive agreement on this. its political dynamite in the canadian context. for the canadian government to say they were in favor of a perimeter security syst
