Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I must say that both of you have impressive CVs. You are pioneers in investment, sustainable development and the emergence of a new technology that may perhaps save the planet. Let's hope. The fact remains that what we're interested in here is concerning.
I would mention, Ms. Méthot, that you have a very calm tone of voice, which I find quite reassuring in the circumstances. I'd like to go back to the context of the COVID‑19 pandemic because you mentioned it.
I remember the workload the committee was coping with at the time. We were considering a bill to amend Canada's Investment Act, and there was this sense that we had to save our businesses from devaluation. You suggested in your remarks that this desire to save businesses tainted your work.
What would have happened if the board hadn't made the decision to adopt an emergency plan for clean technology businesses during the pandemic?
