Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for joining us, Minister.
We've often talked about hydrogen. I don't want to talk about it at length. I just want to point out that, according to many articles, the hydrogen bubble is deflating. In the federal government's strategy, which is only four years old, the initial forecast stated that hydrogen would generate $11,000 billion. Just four years later, that figure has been lowered to $2,000 billion. This amounts to an 80% reduction. It's quite astonishing. However, I don't want to get into that. I just want to say that, in my opinion, people are often misguided when it comes to adopting energy strategies. I get the same impression in the case of carbon capture and sequestration.
I have a fairly simple question. I asked Ms. Freeland the same question when you were both at this committee. I would like a clear and unambiguous answer. Does the government intend to fund the Pathways Alliance through the Canada Growth Fund?
I would like to hear your answer to this question.
