Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I won't get into the rhetoric of whether Canada can be an energy superpower. Some witnesses answered that last week. However, what I'd like to know, particularly from you, Mr. Thiele, is where Canada stands in terms of energy storage. Personally, I see it as an advantage that a major player like Hydro-Québec has developed expertise in hydroelectricity and is still developing technologies around that today.
I don't know if you have any models, but I'd like to know how Canada compares to its American neighbours in terms of supply chain opportunities.
I talked to you about critical minerals earlier. I'll let you answer, and I'm not going to ask you to do our work for us, but if you could provide the committee with a kind of table that explains Canada's current position in terms of its opportunities, advantages and, perhaps, disadvantages related to the value chain, that might give us some food for thought when we draft the report. I'll let you answer in the short time that's left.
