Thank you.
I'd like to note, as this is the environment and sustainable development committee, that tomorrow is Earth Day, and Canadians are counting on us to do good work here.
I'd also like to point out that all across the country, nature is applying its own carbon price right now. There is sandbagging happening in my riding. As I look around at my colleagues here, I can think of incidents in most, if not all, of our ridings, where we have seen nature's carbon price wreak havoc on our communities.
What we're talking about with an industrial carbon price is a thoughtful approach to address the problem of rising emissions that are wreaking havoc on our climate. I appreciate every member here who doesn't take that responsibility lightly.
My colleague Mr. Bexte spoke about regular repeating patterns of geopolitical upheavals, and he's quite right that these happen with great regularity.
My question is for you, Dr. Winter.
Do these geopolitical upheavals impact clean and renewable energy?
