Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to our witnesses too.
As you know, I have worked on the construction of a number of hydroelectric power stations during my career as a mechanical engineer, mostly in northern Quebec, in James Bay, and in my beautiful Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. As a result, the subject we are discussing today interests me a great deal. It's funny: in my region, we have just finished building the biggest wind farm in Canada. So my questions mainly go to the Canadian Wind Energy Association.
Mr. Hornung, as we can see from your Association's website, Canada has the cleanest system of electricity generation among the G-7 countries. More than 75% of our electricity generation comes from renewable energy.
What concrete steps can the federal government take to increase that percentage, in terms of contributions to developing and implementing research in the field of wind energy?
