Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I too want to thank all the witnesses for being with us today.
My first question is for Mr. Durany. I'm curious about green hydrogen.
Mr. Durany, you held a conference on green hydrogen in 2019, and you say on your website that hydrogen is currently in a marginal position. However, recent technological advances suggest quite a promising future for green hydrogen as a factor in the energy transition. As you've no doubt seen, green hydrogen has reemerged as an issue in the provincial election campaign.
Sectoral experts have identified some obstacles to the development of this fuel. In their view, governments are unaware of hydrogen's potential. As a result, governments are disinclined to develop the sector, innovation support programs are unsuited to hydrogen production projects and there's considerable government inertia on the issue.
I have two questions for you on this.
First, do you think the Canadian government adequately supports Quebec's green hydrogen sector, in a manner commensurate with its potential?
