It is extremely timely and I do thank you for your comments.
I was wondering what the department has done in terms of estimating how eliminating fossil fuel subsidies or related tax measures would impact things like fossil fuel production, greenhouse gas emissions, employment in the fossil fuel industry, Canadian employment in renewable energy and investment in industries. I was wondering if you would be able to table any consultations that you have done with industry.
Again, my questions are related to how it's going to affect jobs and people working in the industry. In Ontario, as you're probably well aware, up to 250,000 manufacturing jobs are related to Canada's energy sector—good-quality union jobs. With this drive to slow down production and the transition there are huge concerns about it.
