Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Barakat, for your presentation.
We're talking about energy efficiency. Perhaps we could talk about the priority that Parliament should place on energy efficiency versus trying to develop technology and find ways of producing energy in more environmentally friendly ways.
I ask that in this particular context: One of the things we've seen is that every time we seem to make gains on energy efficiency, the number of appliances and devices that people are using grows at such a pace that we lose any of those gains in energy efficiency just because so many more devices are being used. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the efficacy of pursuing energy efficiency versus spending more time on the ways in which we produce energy.
