Thanks to both of you for being here. It's great to have you kick off this clean-tech study. It's one that I'm really looking forward to in terms of seeing what we can learn over the next few months.
To start, I've talked to a lot of people in clean tech over the last year—people doing clean tech and people thinking about it—and one theme that keeps coming up is electrification and how we have to increase the electrification of our industry and our transportation if we're going to reduce greenhouse gases in a meaningful way. I'm wondering what specific strategies the government has for building the grid in Canada.
We've heard testimony from the mining sector about how the grid is either not there or not strong enough in many places in the country. This is about making the grid smarter and more efficient. If we're going to have industries and homes feeding into the grid, how can we make the grid more responsive to those dispersed energy producers that we're going to see in the future?
