Mr. Chairman, what I would suggest to Mr. St-Cyr is to instead include the renewable sources of energy in the calculation of national security. The less dependence we have on non-renewables the better it will be for our national security.
That is why, for instance, the Government of Sweden announced last February that by the year 2020 it will be independent from oil imports. I don't know whether that will ever be possible for Canada, but the less we are dependent on imported oil the greater our national security will be.
