Thank you so much, Chair.
We did a lot of work together on the issue of renewable energy. I think we really believed in it. We have an environmental crisis and we have an economic crisis. If we don't meet it, we lose out. Texas, in a single month, produced 50% more solar than Canada has ever produced. I mean, you don't get much more right-wing reactionary than Texas, and yet they're moving ahead as pretty much the world leader right now—yet in budget 2023, there was $50-billion in investment tax credits announced. Then there were going to be consultations. In 2024 we have consultations. They're being announced. I'm hearing that people are shipping their investments to the United States because it's there and it's happening, but we're still talking about it.
I guess my frustration with TMX is that the money didn't wait for TMX—it flowed—yet we're still talking about the $50 billion that's been promised to get clean energy projects off the ground.
Why the delay?
