I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for joining us today and providing their comments so far. I'm looking forward to hearing more about what they have to say when we get to questions.
One of the concerns we've heard about the offshore fund is that in certain areas, emissions actually increased when companies received the fund, which is obviously not ideal when you're looking to reduce emissions. There's something I want to note there in the sense that obviously, when companies in Canada are ramping up their production, they're doing so in ways that are much more environmentally friendly than many other jurisdictions and are actually displacing, whether it's oil and gas or LNG, production from other countries that have worse regulations.
I'd like to direct my question to Mr. Pineau.
I'm just curious to get your view, when looking at LNG in Quebec, for example, or looking at the oil and gas sector in Alberta. An opportunity that I had in the last Parliament was to travel to Fort McMurray to visit one of the sites and see some of the great work they're doing to lower their emissions. I'm wondering if you can comment on the positive impacts of increasing production in Canada to displace the emissions that are happening at the global level.
