Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses for coming to take part in our consultation today. They are welcome in their House of Commons and their Canadian parliament.
Climate change is real, we all know that, and we need to adapt to its effects. As Mr. Poilievre said in his speech to a gathering of 2,500 Conservative activists in Quebec City a year ago, we need to offer tax incentives to reduce emissions using new technologies. Secondly, we need to speed up the process of giving green energy the green light. Canada has every advantage in terms of natural resources and energy, and we need to develop this potential to the full. Canada will be very well served by itself, first and foremost. We must also work hand in hand with first nations to develop all this potential, if this is to be done on a first nation's ancestral lands. These four elements have always been repeated by our party, and they were well defined by our leader, Mr. Poilievre, a year ago.
Mr. Arnold, earlier you said you were very happy to see the solar and wind energy sectors developing. In your opinion, if we put a lot of effort into accelerating the green process, whether it's solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy or even nuclear energy, will Canada come out on top?
As we've said before and we'll say it again, we need to speed up the process of giving green energy the green light.
