Natural Resources committee  Sure. From a hydrocarbon perspective, we do export quite a bit. Most of the 25% of our exports that are energy are hydrocarbon. We do import almost as much, about half of what we export in terms of dollar value. A lot of people have said it doesn't make economic sense to build

Natural Resources committee  It was deliberate in the context of the biggest potential for us on the electricity side, but I have views on diversifying our exports to other markets as well.

Natural Resources committee  Sure.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, Mr. Chair.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to apologize to the members for being a little late.

Foreign Affairs committee  The agenda for the council is emerging. There are two priority areas that have been identified, and one of them is dealing with unplugging financial flows toward important infrastructure—renewable energy infrastructure and transmission infrastructure.

Foreign Affairs committee  What's going on within the international bond markets right now is really interesting.
