Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I want to say that it's great to be back and it's nice to see everyone.
Mr. Klein, I want to say a huge thank you to you for being here today. I really appreciate your creative ideas. I think we're going to need all of them in order for us to be able to achieve our Paris accord target to get to net zero by 2050.
I feel an extraordinary urgency to act on climate change. I can tell you that in my riding of Davenport the clear message that comes from people is that they're absolutely worried about inflation and they're worried about the geopolitical crisis around the world, but their very clear direction to me is, “Do not slow down on tackling emissions, on reducing emissions and on moving quickly and urgently towards achieving our Paris accord targets, as well as moving toward net zero.”
In the context of that, I again want to say thanks to you and thanks for your book. I have not had a chance to read it, but I have read some articles on it. Here's my first question for you: Is there a country that maybe serves as a model for the type of climate transfer agency that you're looking to create?
