This is where I disagree with Mr. Pineau. As I see it, energy efficiency must start with electrification and technological upgrades. That's how we'll remain at the cutting edge of technology. While we're at it, we may as well do things properly and efficiently.
We must support electricity production with strategies to bring prices down. We can see that some provinces don't have very effective strategies. We run the risk of seeing a movement against electrification.
We must support the electrification of transportation. As I was saying, we must also head in a direction where the rest of the world can't be found. We must try to find niches where Canada isn't dominant, for example by developing technologies for electric cars. However, we must also find ways to develop Canadian niches where we can gain a foothold on the world stage.
For me, this is the way forward. We need real strategies. Simply handing out subsidies won't work.
