Thank you Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the three representatives of the Department of Western Economic Diversification for being here today.
I will start with a fairly simple question.
There is a great deal of talk about oil and gas. When I am asked questions in Quebec about wind energy, I am often told that Quebec is the largest producer of wind energy. Most of the time, I tend to correct people by telling them that Alberta is the largest producer.
However, in your presentation, you did not really mention the expansion of the research, development, and use of renewable energy in Alberta, even though the province was and is still considered a leader in the development of renewable energy.
How do you view the government's role in the next year, or in the next five years, in Alberta in particular?
