Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for being here today.
I think it's clear that there's a consensus, at least an intellectual one, that we are in a transition period and we need to reduce emissions to combat climate change. However, with the war in Ukraine, with supply chain challenges, and with the rising cost of living, we appear to be dealing with a perceived conflict. There are those who are saying that in order to deal with all those challenges.... Their resolve to transition is weakening and they're advocating for traditional methods of production or transportation.
I'm interested in hearing from Mr. Mousseau or Mr. Charlebois and having their points of view on this issue. We have to have a fundamental discussion about tackling the challenges that we're facing today, but also on the issue of climate change and our production methods.
Mr. Mousseau, go ahead.
