That's what we heard from other witnesses earlier today. It's a question of negotiation and long-term contracts, a question of certainty of availability. You have to know how it fits into the different types of electricity we need. Peak load and base load must be taken into account. It's a complex system. Each province has structured its network based on basic needs and advanced needs.
How should this logic be respected on a pan-Canadian basis, during a transition period when the facilities, which are largely coal-fired, need to be redesigned? In Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick in part, and other provinces, there are still plants that use natural gas and oil.
If green electrification is a central option of this energy transition policy, we must hold this conversation to adopt a much more coherent system at the national level. It's something that is very fragmented. So it's a challenge.
