Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Eggertson, for a great presentation. I have some specific questions around renewable energy. I know you're going to become excited about giving the answers, but I want you to speak slowly, because some of the questions are around other parts of northern Canada that are just as remote as those of our friends, with the greatest of respect, who are north of 60.
In the Kenora riding I come from, kilometre for square kilometre we have a critical mass of people living in isolated communities. We are looking more seriously at all of our options besides just establishing hydro lines into some of those remote communities. This is serious subject matter, and I know that at the very least my colleague Mr. Lévesque has a similar riding, with some of the same challenges and considerations.
I want to resist going into geothermal. I think my first question would be this: which of the renewables—perhaps in a ranking, to the extent possible—pose the fewest barriers to being brought to an isolated community?
