Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Perhaps I'll clarify what we talked about earlier.
I understand that some federal programs could benefit Hydro‑Québec. For example, we talked about the clean electricity tax credit. I clearly understand that Hydro‑Québec has no desire to have federal standards regulate its work. As a member of the Bloc Québécois, I don't believe that we should go down that road—far from it. However, the federal government may have a role to play in the near future. We want to study the clean electricity issue together.
Back home in the Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean region, I heard that companies were having trouble accessing energy blocks for their projects. Some people say that they can sometimes reduce demand by also using storage technologies.
Would you welcome federal participation to help companies develop in‑house storage capacity in order to reduce their demand for energy blocks?
That's why I asked you earlier whether Hydro‑Québec provided financial support to companies trying to take this step.
