Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. I am glad to be back at the committee.
First, I would like to correct something that Mr. Armstrong said. The premier is not opposed to energy loans. It is because it was offered to another province, and Quebec had not benefited from that same kind of loan. That's why she was opposed to it.
Why does Canada lag so far behind in developing geothermal energy? We need only think of a country like Iceland, which has been developing this energy since the 1970s and 1980s.
My question is for Mr. Thompson.
