Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I would like to thank all the public servants who are with us today.
Second, thank you very much for working with me. I have enjoyed my experience as a parliamentary secretary very much.
It was an amazing experience to work with all of you and see the professionalism that we have at NRCan. I've had the opportunity to travel the world and talk about Canada. Talented people like we have here are what makes our country so great, because of the stability and the expertise you bring.
Once again, thank you very much.
I have a few questions. Maybe I'll start off with the importance of having a credible plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. How important is that to the economy?
I know, Mr. Tupper, you've been dialoguing with a lot of other officials from across the country, as well as industry. As we know, ESG is certainly top of mind. We're seeing it more and more. In your view, why is it so important to have a credible reduction plan when it comes to lowering our carbon emissions?
