Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I've been waiting for a while to respond to Mr. Duguid's question about an energy corridor from Manitoba back over to Alberta. Perhaps we could get one from Alberta all the way to the east coast and to the west coast, so that we can replace some conflict oil and help our economy so that we have the money available to develop new resources and new resource concepts, as we've been talking about.
On a more serious point, Mr. Bradley, the question is on charging stations. A Tesla going from Edmonton to Calgary last winter, when it was -40°C, made it halfway on a full charge. It had to stop. It couldn't charge outside. It had to go inside in order to charge enough to make it the rest of the way. There is a long way to go in order to get to the stage where consumers who don't live in a city are going to say, “Maybe this is something we might try and might consider.” However, when a government puts a full blanket ban that simply says, “That has to be it; we're not going to sell any more”, there are concerns and issues.
When we talk about electricity—and you would be the one who could tie into this, as you're the distributor of electricity—could you supply us with the full life-cycle costs of each of the energy sources that we plan on using in the future and compare them to those energy sources that we presently use?
In 15 to 20 years, we're going to be replacing all the windmills and all the solar panels. We're going to be dealing with those types of technology changes. We have issues as far as oil and gas are concerned, as far as nuclear is concerned and as far as building dams is concerned.
Who looks at the amount of energy that is used to implement and produce each and every one of these energy sources that we either have or plan on having in the future?
