Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Before I ask my question, I would like to say that I am happy to learn from my colleague Mr. Hoback that Richard Martel is now an aluminum enthusiast. In our region, he is the only elected official who has refused to take part in the aluminum issue table for three years. I therefore reiterate the invitation to him: if he wants to talk about aluminum, he could join us and all the elected officials of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean.
Mr. Charlebois, in the report entitled “Canada's Energy Future 2020—Energy Supply and Demand Projections to 2050,” the Canada Energy Regulator indicates that we must anticipate an intensification of measures to fight climate change, which implies a reduction in demand for fossil fuels.
I would like to know if the regulator has ever done any estimates or studies to see if, over time, the “optimal” use of the Trans Mountain pipeline can be measured. Do we have any idea? Will this infrastructure be good for fifteen or twenty years? Has the Canada Energy Regulator ever done this type of study?
