Thank you very much.
Mr. Chair, I would like to discuss a motion I intend to move. You may have noticed that things are moving quickly on the intersection between caribou protection and the impact on clean energy projects. You have the text of the motion in front of you.
Given that the Committee advocates a global and integrated approach, and that the protection of any endangered species is closely linked to the protection of the environment and the ability to put forward green strategies to replace fossil fuels with clean energy projects such as wind, biomass, and hydroelectricity. That the Committee add an additional meeting to the present study to study the potential effects of an emergency decree on the deployment of clean energy projects and on the infrastructures required for the smooth operation of these networks, and that to this end, the Committee invite experts from these different clean energy sectors, such as Hydro-Québec.
I don't want to cut into my NDP colleague's speaking time, but I hope we can agree on this. Perhaps we could let my NDP colleague speak and then come back to the motion. This is a friendly suggestion.
