Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to my friend Mr. Falk. I agree with him: I would really like to see an election on carbon pricing in Quebec. It would be fun, especially since carbon pricing doesn't apply in Quebec. Maybe we won't see his leader then, who knows.
Mr. Detomasi, you talked about the possibility of selling new technologies. I'm still thinking of the visit I made to Siemens in Berlin with Minister Wilkinson. Siemens clearly told the minister that we would never see the day when we produced hydrogen from gas with a carbon capture strategy, since the technological cost was much too high and no one wanted to go there. Those words got me thinking. When it comes to these new technologies, a lot of promises have been made, but I get the feeling that not much comes of it in the end.
When it comes to the movement of businesses, Quebec's problem is a nice one to have: everyone wants to set up there, but there aren't enough energy blocks. Quebec is very attractive to large energy-intensive businesses, but I don't see the same thing for other businesses, such as those that would set up in Alberta to produce aluminum or steel with a carbon capture strategy.
Isn't it selling a dream to talk about all the new technologies that will make it possible to reduce the carbon footprint of the oil and gas industry?
