Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Goodman and Mr. McMillan, earlier this week, Professor Jaccard came in to tell us that no, the oil and gas industry would not be capable of reducing emissions without government support. Now, as I'm sure you know, the Minister of Environment has announced that fossil fuel subsidies will end by 2023. That leaves you with very little room to manoeuvre, in my view. You mentioned predictability, and I have a hard time seeing how you are going to reduce your industry's greenhouse gas emissions. Having said that, I will move on.
In closing, I'd like to dispel a myth, the one that claims gas is an alternative energy source to coal. I come from Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean, where the LNG Quebec project was rejected. The Bureau d'audiences publiques sur l'environnement, the BAPE, clearly stated that gas is not an alternative energy source, but it's becoming an additional energy source. That's how the market works, the bigger the supply in the energy sector, the lower the price gets.
I'd like to hear Ms. Brouillette speak to that.
