Maybe you've heard of the competition that's happening among countries right now between petrostates and electrostates. There's this idea that many of the emerging economies that are becoming most competitive globally these days are heading towards electrification. Indeed, with the annual UN climate talks coming up, Turkey has now put it on the agenda to talk about a global goal of increasing electrification by 35% by 2035.
This trend toward electrification, making use of Canada's clean energy resources to electrify our homes, our businesses and our transportation, is definitely a conversation that we need to be having. When it comes to specific projects, that conversation has to happen in context with the communities that are involved and might be impacted.
Perhaps part of what you're raising here, from my perspective, is the need for us to be having conversations about these kinds of projects in Canada versus having the oldest, most boring conversation I can possibly imagine about how we're going to build another pipeline. This subject sucks up so much of the energy, the attention and the political and financial resources in this country, preventing us from having these kinds of important conversations about projects that will actually take us forward.
