It's baffling to me, the state of where we are today and where we continue to go. These tragedies are for sure not the new norm. It will progressively get worse. We have a hurricane right now in the southwest United States that's causing havoc. I mentioned the fires. I mentioned all this.
What I think of, Mr. Morrice, is what my grandfather would think, Chief Dan George, if I tried to explain to him that there were 434 fires in British Columbia in one day at once, what an atmospheric river was, how the floods and the landslides cut off Vancouver from the rest of Canada for months or these hurricanes that are happening, the change of weather, the ice melting or even to have him witness how the tides here have changed since his lifetime.
I spoke multiple times at the United Nations, and many scientists explained how fossil fuels are responsible for this. Not to try to do something about it and not to try to move forward...and not just as an industry but also as leaders of Canada. I just explained it—$180 million for a hydrogen plant with 200 trucks with 100% green hydrogen. We could move in that direction. We would be leaders in the world of green energy if we took that money and spent it on something else.
It's baffling. Do you know what I think of? Everybody who's speaking, including them, are part of the human race. They're incapable of making sound decisions for themselves and their future generations. I'm doing my best to do that for them to make sure our future generations have something.
