This, of course, is a sovereign decision for the Government of Canada to make regarding its own energy policy. But in the United States we recently, in fact just two weeks ago, took a very important step in the Department of Defense. I brought with me the first ever Department of Defense policy on energy, which tackles many of these issues in terms of the importance of energy to the Department of Defense and how to build resilience.
The Department of Defense is never going to be investing in public utilities in order to build the resilience of the electric power grid. That's within the private sector. That's a challenge for regulators who provide for cost recovery, to ensure that investments are prudent and that rate payers ought to be paying for them. But in the Department of Defense, ensuring the flow of power so that our armed forces can accomplish their missions no matter what is the key focus of this new policy.
If you would like, I'd be happy to provide a copy for the record, for your committee to review.
