I note that countries throughout the Indo-Pacific region have increased coal burning to produce electricity. I think of countries like Taiwan, which currently burns coal to produce electricity. I think of Japan's energy challenges. I know that the Government of Japan recently instructed large LNG purchasers, I believe Mitsubishi, to secure long-term LNG contracts.
Do you think it should be a foreign policy priority of the whole of the Government of Canada to make the export of LNG to allies and partners across the Indo-Pacific region, such as Taiwan, Japan, Australia and others, a priority?
