Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Bradley, I want to ask you a few questions about the things you touched on.
I'm from Nova Scotia and I represent a Halifax-area riding. You correctly identified that Nova Scotia has a high-carbon generation system. Unfortunately, we're still burning a lot of coal, and it is very expensive to generate and consume electricity in Nova Scotia. We have the country's highest rates of energy poverty in our province and in our region generally as well.
You talked about the fact that electricity demand is going to double over the next 25 years or so, and I think the biggest question we have to address as a country when it comes to energy is, how do we meet that demand? I know you touched on that a bit in previous answers, but how do we meet that challenge? It is a profound challenge to double production, whether it's export or import, and hopefully we're generating it ourselves over a relatively short period of time. What's the best, most efficient way we can make that happen?
