Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Allow me to thank all of the witnesses today for the very compelling information that's been provided to us. We really appreciate your taking the time to give us your input on these budget consultations. Thanks, everybody, for appearing.
I have a lot of questions on everything I've heard here today, but I'm going to start with Mr. Breton. He and I have discussed these matters before, but I'll remind him, because last time it was at the natural resources committee that we were at together.
Mr. Breton, there are, simply put, really three uses of energy in Canada—internal combustion engines; electricity; and industrial use, which is principally natural gas. When you want to remove the internal combustion engines, you are effectively going to have to double the electricity supply available to Canadians.
Now, I've checked this since the last time we spoke, and I hope you have too. The Canadian Electricity Association has indicated that they can't get to net zero, as defined by the government, by 2035. It's going to be a great challenge. It used to be 2050. But now they say that's with their current supply of electricity, current demand and current supply. There are no new sources coming online here that are of any impact for long-term supply.
Can you tell us where you think all the new supply for electricity will come from to meet the demand required to replace Canada's motive fleet?
