Thank you for a careful reading of our report, during which you will have noted that we support some types of fossil fuel subsidies. It's a matter of record, which I repeated in this committee testimony. There are some fossil fuel subsidies that may be necessary, and I consider subsidies to energy in remote and northern communities to be part of those, although at the same time we should be sinking as much or more money into diversifying the energy sources in those communities away from diesel generators.
This comes back to my point. It's not a question of whether it's a subsidy or not. Some subsidies are good. Some subsidies are bad. It's a question of whether it's a good use of public funds.
