Maybe we could have a 30-second answer before we close off the meeting.
Director General, Electricity Resources Branch, Energy Sector, Department of Natural Resources
Yes. I can give you a very quick answer.
There is significant work being done to develop smarter ways of integrating electricity sources. One of the issues is that the smart grid means different things to different people. To some people, it's software to better manage it, and it's technological. Our department has invested in demonstration projects focusing on better integrating renewables, especially intermittent renewables such as wind and solar power, into the grid.

Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr. Nicholls.
Thank you to the officials for being here today: Ms. Knobel, from Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Foran, Mr. Labonté, Mr. Will, and Mr. McCauley. I think this is a great base on which to start our study, and I do appreciate it very much.
Members of the committee, a copy of a budget is before you—mainly witness expenses—and if you could have a look at it, we'll pass it, if that's your will, at the start of the next meeting.
Thanks very much to all of you. Have a good weekend in your constituencies.
The meeting is adjourned.
