Thank you, Mr. Chair, and welcome. It's not often that I get to speak to the same witnesses twice in one day, but it's a pleasure.
I'm interested in a number of things that you brought up here. Of course, many of them relate back to ideas, concepts, and visions that people have for the future of energy in Canada. I look at your provincial generation mix, reflecting the variation of resources across the region.
One of the major issues that has come up in Parliament this year, and which the government is supporting, is the idea of greater interconnection between provinces to take advantage of the opportunities in Canada to increase our use of renewable and clean energy in the electrical generation field. I would think that what we need to see is this vision expressed in some fashion in terms of the potential we have across Canada for the use of renewables and how in the interrelationship between regions of the country, which may have wind power and which may have hydroelectric power, they can take advantage of the opportunities that exist between them for prosperity and sharing. I would think this would be part of the development of an electrical strategy for the country. I just wonder if any kind of work like this has been done through your department.
