Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
This question has already been raised. So far, in Canada, because of our affordable energy prices, we have not always used energy intelligently or effectively. Some examples that come to mind are using diesel fuel to heat houses or using huge quantities of natural gas for tar sands production.
My first question is to Mr. Cleland.
What steps could the government take to ensure that the right fuel is being used in the right place? Do you think the proposals contained in Bill C-30 could encourage efficient energy use? Could you explain the CGA's clean energy in Canadian communities proposal? What type of plan would this proposal include?
