Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses.
Mr. Thériault, what a lot of interesting information you have given us in such a short amount of time! I am a little overwhelmed because I know you are a renowned economist. I know more about engineering. You know that I'm from Saguenay, a region that is a major producer of hydroelectricity. In fact, Quebec produces around 35,000 megawatts of hydroelectricity a year.
An initial question comes to my mind as a result of your reflections. Earlier, we talked with witnesses about the possibility of having premiums for exporting our green energy. In a province like Quebec, if there was a premium to export our green energy, with the economic spinoffs it would bring, do you think we could adopt the vision you mentioned, in other words, doing research and development and raising awareness? As I understand it, if we want to achieve our goals, the idea is not only to improve our practices, but to consume less.
I would like to hear your opinion on this.
