Mr. Chair, we feel that our point 3, which concerns geothermal and solar energy, is by far the most promising and most important. For some years now, there has been an enormous amount of development, particularly on mid-depth geothermal energy, to power the electrical generation stations and to replace carbon, gas and nuclear energy. It would be important for Canada to be aware of the research done elsewhere in which we have not yet really been interested.
The same is true for solar energy. There have been a lot of developments in recent years, and we realize that we haven't yet integrated it.
So we should examine the prospects for these types of energy, which will become very important. If we want to head in the direction of the present government's policy, which is to reduce greenhouse gases, these two topics are priorities. It seems to me we should put them forward and study them in depth with the people doing this research.
