Thanks, Chair.
Witnesses, thank you for being here today and for your candid and comprehensive dose of reality. You have painted a very accurate picture of the absolutely inextricable link between your operations, your expertise and the everyday essential needs of every Canadian in every community across this country. I note your concern about affordability and Canadians being able to afford reliable, stable, predictable sources of power.
Mr. Friesen, I invite you to comment on what I understand to be a growing gap between supply and demand for the equipment and materials needed to grow the grid. Also, do you have any comments on supply chain issues with the materials needed to build it out and meet expansion goals?
