Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our three witnesses for your presentations and comments about the issue we're discussing.
Mr. Angevine, my first question is for you. One of the arguments we hear most often—and you made it like many others before you—to promote exploration and, eventually, extraction of shale gas is to tell us that we could get rid of a large part of our reliance on imported petroleum or natural gas. That's absolutely true in some cases.
However, don't you think that, in Quebec, given that we produce electricity, we could get exactly the same economic effect by relying less on petroleum and more on electricity by, for example, deciding to replace our current automobiles with electric cars over 20 or 25 years?
