Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for being with us today. My first question goes to Mr. Bateman.
I think we can all agree that accurate energy data is required for effective policy decisions. The committee has already heard from some witnesses that Canada's energy data at both the national and the regional levels is often incomplete.
To address this data gap, some researchers or companies engage in different ways, such as computer modelling or mathematical or statistical analysis, or even by sending out a monthly press alert to collect the necessary information from industry or from other users.
How do you confirm that the data and information on electricity produced in renewable ways is complete and accurate and can meet our requirements without further worsening the gaps in our energy database?
