Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Minister, welcome to the committee.
The Energy Dialogue Group made a presentation to us the other day, and I just want to pick up on that in my first question.
I'm hopeful that in the future we can take a more overall look at the environment and focus on climate change, including greenhouse gas, including sulphur, including particulates, and not just on the one aspect called Kyoto. But it seems that one aspect of this that we haven't fully appreciated over the last number of years-and may not, quite likely, in successive governments--is the linkage between energy and the environment. What are you doing tangibly, right now and in the future, to make sure we keep these departments linked? I'm always worried about silos and wasting taxpayers' money on programs.
