Natural Resources committee  One of the top key elements is definitely moving quickly on the creation of a cap around the oil and gas sector. Along with that is also looking at other sectors that are heavy emitters and creating plans with, potentially, caps for those sectors as well. I think another key piece is to basically not be afraid to take a leadership position globally, as we saw at COP26, on what it will take to meet our nationally determined contribution, which we've committed to through the Paris Agreement.

Natural Resources committee  The majority of our work happens at a global level. What we've looked at is what the intent is of young people and, really, that is going towards the net-zero future. I think it is clear that battery technology will be a big part of that, but there are a lot of other technologies that exist as well and have been pointed out in other reports here.

Natural Resources committee  It's crucial that we're leveraging youth engagement, because it is their future. These are also the people who are going to implement all the plans that are made. I'm happy that I was invited here. I think this is the first time that Student Energy has been invited. There's so much more we can do.

Natural Resources committee  The stress on our generation is very palpable. I think many people in my age range are severely questioning if they will ever have children, for instance, and if that is a safe or wise decision given our potential climate future. That is something that breaks my heart, but it is a very real thing for us to have to consider.

Natural Resources committee  What we see from our research is that young people are really concerned about all pollution. It's not just CO2 but also methane and anything else. We should definitely have a sector-by-sector approach.

Natural Resources committee  I think that all emitting sectors in the heavy industry in Canada need to basically account for their emissions and look towards creating a net-zero economy.

Natural Resources committee  I don't have a strong opinion on that based on our research, but what I do know is that young people are very determined to get to net zero, and I know that many other witnesses at this committee have made recommendations based on their own research there.

Natural Resources committee  Okay, great. Thank you for inviting me to be here today. I'm honoured to be joining you from the unceded territory of the Squamish people in British Columbia. Student Energy was founded in Calgary, Alberta, in 2009, precisely because young people in Canada wanted to determine how they could be part of creating a sustainable energy system that no longer contributed to climate change or inequities we see in the world.
