Maybe to get us started I can underline that, as was announced recently, there is a pan-Canadian framework that is being slowly implemented beginning this year, but ramping up over the coming years. It's really a blueprint for reducing emissions, spurring innovation, adapting to climate change, and so forth. The minister mentioned that NRCan is active in about 30 of the overall 50 projects we are imagining. In those 30 projects, you will see investment in clean electricity. You will see new renewables being brought to the forefront. You will see support for smart grid technologies. You will see the reduction of diesel in northern communities and in remote communities north and south of 60. I think you're going to want to keep your eye on the pan-Canadian framework for sure. Budget 2017, in particular, put budgets to things like smart grids and electric vehicle infrastructure, as you mentioned, because we have to do more of that. The minister mentioned building new codes, etc., for new buildings; building tall buildings; and so forth. Many initiatives announced in 2017 really build on what was put in place in 2016.
