Thank you very much, Chair. I appreciate the opportunity.
First, I'll start off by apologizing to the witness who was referred to as a propaganda tool by my Conservative colleague across the aisle. I don't think that's the kind of language we should be using in this committee, but it goes in line with what we've heard from many Conservative members, including the leader of the Conservative Party, using insults, using fear and talking about a nuclear winter in making the transition to a greener economy.
I guess I'll use my line of questioning to debunk some of those myths and those arguments put forward by my Conservative colleagues. I'll start off with this one, and this I will ask Dr. Exner-Pirot and Ms. Hoicka, as well as Mr. Dion and Mr. MacDougall.
If we make this transition to a cleaner electrical grid, to cleaner forms of energy, are we going to experience a nuclear winter? Are we going to run out of electricity? Is everything going to collapse?
I'll start off with you, Dr. Exner-Pirot.
