You know what I'd do? I'd start using renewable energy. This is the energy of the future. I'd do an analysis. We don't have time to talk about it here, but take the Bay of Fundy project. Do it. It's very simple.
Governments can't pick winners or pick companies or even technologies for that matter. Nobody can. But there is a need. We need to generate renewable energy by various means. Certainly on this coast we have lots of tidal rapids around here, and it is similar on the east coast. Build a power generation system.
The picking of the winners will take place in the procurement process. And put in place methods of building Canadian jobs into that.
You're right about what Germany is doing. They see renewable energy as being a big part of their economy. They're an energy-poor country. We're an energy-rich country. But the same equation applies to us as applies to them. They're just getting kind of anxious because they don't have much energy and almost no clean energy aside from wind and solar, which they're building furiously. And their industry is now the world leader, beyond any question.
