Mr. Labonté, perhaps you will understand why I am raising my eyebrows. You just told me that companies are the ones that will show whether this works, so you are going to provide financial support to companies that have to prove to you that carbon capture and storage works. However, I see lines in the budget for carbon capture and storage. Maybe I am just being suspicious, but that does not seem right to me.
I looked into carbon-neutral aluminum for a company in my region, Rio Tinto, and I saw that the specifications they would be expected to meet are very demanding. I cannot believe that you do not have any information and that you are leaving this in the hands of companies when there is a line in the budget to say that the federal government is going to fund carbon capture and storage and that companies say it is feasible.
Experts have appeared before the committee and told us that this does not seem feasible for the volumes of carbon that we are talking about. I think this is rather astonishing.
