Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Indeed, it's quite informative.
Earlier this week, Mr. Mousseau was here. He clearly explained the dynamics of the electricity sector where peak hours must be managed. He also explained how a Hydro‑Québec reservoir can be used as a huge battery to manage these flows. The interesting part is the technical advances that Mr. Mousseau described. The current progress made in wind and solar energy, with new storage methods such as iron‑air batteries, gives us much greater predictability with regard to these technologies.
According to Mr. Mousseau, the major issue lies in the fact that Canada invests very little in these technologies and that it isn't at the forefront of storage strategies. Mr. Mousseau gave the example of heat pumps.
I would appreciate your comments on this topic. I think that this is a fairly significant factor. We need to invest in these technologies that will help us roll out a greater volume of clean electricity.
