Thank you, Minister, for that answer.
It's great to see that the government is making key investments to our economy to strengthen the middle class.
Minister, this morning I had the pleasure of meeting with Electricity Canada, and later on this evening, in partnership with Electricity Canada, we'll be sponsoring the reception here on the Hill.
We know the electrical grid needs to be secure, clean and affordable for Canadians. We also know that, going forward, we need to increase the baseload of our electrical grid that will need to be there to handle the increased use of electrical vehicles and so forth.
I want to ask a question on the smart renewables and electrification pathways program, which I believe was in the budget. Specifically, how will that help communities and organizations acquire the knowledge and tools needed to develop renewable energy and grid modernization projects as we move forward to a fully clean electrical grid?
