Mr. Chairman, I will be sharing my speaking time with my colleague, Mr. Pomerleau, since we are short of time.
Good afternoon and welcome. Thank you for being with us today.
I don't want to forget to congratulate Équiterre. Mr. Guilbeault, I commend you on the quality of your work, and especially your effectiveness and tremendous tenacity. We rely on you a great deal to help us on environment-related issues.
You talk about reducing our dependency on oil. Everyone wants to do that. We have been hammering away at that message in the Bloc Québécois. You say that it will require political will, and that is something that is difficult to obtain. You have also presented several potential solutions: better insulated homes, electrified transportation, and first-generation biofuels. I'm sure you have others that you can suggest. I will read your report with interest. If you were a politician, where would you start?
