Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for freeing up their time to attend this meeting.
My first question is for Ms. Brownen Tucker.
You filed a report last year. It shows that, on average, the G20 countries as a whole have provided 2.5 times more support for fossil fuels than for renewable energy. In Canada, it's been 14.5 times more support for fossil fuels than for renewables.
The International Energy Agency has estimated that Canada's public budget for research and development funding was US$1.1 billion in 2020 alone.
If we apply your support formula, that is, 2.5 times instead of 14.5 times, it would mean that, of that amount, only $7.6 million would go to renewable energy and what's left of the $1.1 billion would go to fossil fuels.
Given the objective to reduce emissions, don't we need to review the share of the budget going to renewables?
