Natural Resources committee  One of the challenges we face in Canada is the fact that we have policy in all the different provinces and municipalities. So it is, at best, schizophrenic. Where the adoption of sustainable communities and renewable energy has really been successful from both an environmental and an economic point of view is where there is national leadership.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is Elizabeth McDonald and I'm the executive director of the Canadian Solar Industries Association, or CanSIA, as we call ourselves. I'm accompanied today by Wes Johnston, CanSIA's director of policy and research. This is my first opportunity to appear before this committee, so I really appreciate the invitation.

Natural Resources committee  We'll come back to you with a written response.

Natural Resources committee  Perhaps we could come back to the committee with a written response to that.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you. This is my first day, so I'll leave it with the introduction.
