Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Minister. It's always a pleasure to have you here.
Since I'm a good student, I listened to what you said in your presentation. You mentioned that we should not stick our head in the sand and that we need a clear-headed strategy.
I agree with you and hope that we will remain in agreement throughout my intervention.
In fact, not sticking your head in the sand means realizing that, unfortunately, in certain economies which have a low carbon footprint, some industrial sectors might have to be left behind. There is a concept I like a lot that can give us some perspective on that, namely the fair transition.
Indeed, Canada is a signatory to the Conference of the Parties, or COP. Canada signed on to the Just Transition Declaration.
My question is pretty basic. Do you agree with the idea of a just transition?
