Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you everyone. I concur with my colleague. We have heard some excellent presentations today from individuals who come from very diverse backgrounds.
Mr. Potter, you said the time had come to ask some solid questions about innovation. I quite enjoy the name of your organization, Alberta Innovates - Technology Futures. As far as the name goes, it's quite extraordinary. You talk about the long term. You say that we should avoid thinking about the next election and focus instead on the many other elections to come if we truly want to consider Canada's energy security.
Much has been said here about oil in all its various forms. This country has vast oil resources, but it also has other forms of energy derived from wind power, tidal power, geothermal power, which is widely used in Iceland, and solar power. I was in Gibraltar recently and saw fields covered with solar panels generating electricity for homes. So then, there are other types of energy.
Do you not feel that aside from energy produced from oil, there is not a great deal of research being done at this time on other forms of energy that could be used, such as CO2?
