Clearly, exports will result directly from the fact that we will have energy to sell. We will only be able to export energy if we produce surplus energy.
The recommendation is relatively simple: even before we think about building more power plants and increasing our production capacity to export energy, the greatest asset would probably be to use less energy in order to export the surplus energy.
This recommendation seems really simple, but to do something about it, there must be a real political will to act on energy efficiency. As my colleagues have said, it is very difficult for all of us to agree on the best ways to reduce energy consumption; it is very complex.
To build a hydroelectric plant, everyone agrees on the same concept; there are not a thousand ways to do it. To reduce energy consumption, we talked about the standards and codes that the Canadian government sets. This is a very good approach. We also talked about training people to help them find ways to reduce their energy consumption. Those are just some examples. There are a lot of different ways.
As my colleagues have said, the Canadian government could engage all parties to move toward harmonization. This would certainly make it possible to free up that energy and export it.
