First, thank you for being here, Mark. Thank you both for being here.
I'm from New Brunswick. I recognize the unique position you're in in Nova Scotia. We have spent a lot of time in New Brunswick over the past few years talking about smart grid technology and how it is going to change the playing field within our province, signalling a shift from being more an energy producer to being an energy manager over time.
The more evolved the grid becomes, the less dependent we are on the natural sources of energy that we traditionally use. If you start using people's homes as batteries and start using their vehicles as batteries, that's an evolution that compounds itself over time.
With the close proximity not only geographically but politically among the Atlantic provinces, how do you feel the four provinces can work proactively together, through strengthening these interties, to create a viable proposition that works for all four provinces as we look to create synergies that will allow us to export to the U.S.?
