Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank the three witnesses for their excellent presentations.
While preparing for this committee meeting, I noticed that Mr. Desrochers knew a great deal about the history of hydrocarbons, which are found in the oil and gas sector and coal sector.
I'll take advantage of your presence, Mr. Desrochers, to ask for your opinion on certain matters I hold dear.
First, I recognize all the benefits provided by fossil fuels in terms of the overall quality of life of humans. However, the use of this type of energy also has adverse effects.
I also find your strong precautionary principle very good, Mr. Desrochers.
Do you think the National Energy Board, the Minister of Environment and the Minister of Natural Resources systematically use this strong precautionary principle when conducting analyses before approving pipeline projects?
