Thank you, Mr. Chair, and my thanks to the witnesses for being here today.
I found it interesting to listen to your discussion of the government energy initiatives. How much of our energy program initiatives are tied up in environmental endeavours? I want to get a bit of a grasp on what energy initiatives the federal government is involved in.
Would you say that most of our energy efforts have to do with the environment? You mentioned fossil fuels. You mentioned improving renewable technologies, and there was some talk about waste. Am I correct in my understanding of that? If so, why are those the areas—and I'm not asking in a political sense—where federal innovation in energy has tended to specialize?
