Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses.
I'll direct my first question to Dr. Burch.
Dr. Burch, something you said in your introductory remarks caught my attention. You mentioned this idea that modest efficiency gains are not going to be enough to get us even to the 2030 target. It made me think about the way we talk about the magnitude of change that's going to be required. The question in my mind is whether the sense of urgency and the way that government communicates it to the people of Canada are sufficient to really give them a sense of what's going to be required over the next nine years, which to me seems like a blink in time.
Do we need to convey more of a sense of urgency and really be honest with Canadians about what a 45% decrease in emissions would like in our country? Is that a clear question?
