Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Nice to see you again, Ms. Doyle and Mr. Tobin. Thank you for coming.
Ms. Doyle, during his presentation the minister talked quite effusively about nuclear and to some extent about coal. I want to know what the department is doing, as a matter of leadership, however incrementally, to wean us off our dependence on oil and gas and aggressively endeavour to develop a wind industry and a solar industry in Canada.
I believe that we are laggards internationally with respect to both wind and solar, that we have done not very much to develop these sectors. We have abundant wind—particularly in Ottawa, many say. We have abundant sun across Canada. There is no reason that we can't develop a strong wind and solar industry sector, so I'd like to know what the government is doing as a demonstration of leadership.
