Thank you very much to the presenters and for undertaking this important study.
I first started thinking about and introducing this to the committee back in 2019. It just seems that we've come a long way, particularly recently even from 2021 until now, especially with some of the investments that have been made down in southern Ontario in the auto sector and across Canada. In my riding, with Algoma Steel you're seeing investments in green, clean technologies. In the case of Algoma Steel, they're going from a coal-based operation to an electric arc. That of course affects the supply chain, the downstream and the upstream. Even the market itself is demanding more clean green products.
Perhaps you can comment on some of the investments that have been made. In particular, since we're dealing with Natural Resources, I'm thinking of PDAC, the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, whose conference is coming up shortly. It's going to be sort of a hybrid. It will be in person in June, and it will also have a Zoom portion to it. I remember at the last one that we were assembled at in person, in 2020, there was an announcement of the various tax measures that were there for companies that employ clean technologies in the mining sector.
Perhaps you can comment on what we have seen recently over the last little while in terms of the various funds and activities that are available for Canadian companies to invest into themselves, into the clean green technologies.
