We have been informed, through one of our briefing documents, that the consumption of energy has risen 22% in Canada from 1990 to 2004. We have been listening to municipal applications with respect to innovative renewable technologies in subdivisions, in geothermal applications for heating water for residential and industrial use, and a number of other things.
My question is twofold. One, what scenario do you think is most reasonable, against conservation and so on, with respect to the percentage increase in terms of electrical energy requirements? Second, do you see a major impact made through local applications--for example, energy conservation, the EnerGuide programs, both residential and industrial applications? Do you think we're on the path to a reasonable match in terms of the projections of electrical requirement and the actual implementation of new technologies?
