Thank you both. I really appreciate it.
I heard about an enhanced focus on critical minerals. I heard about biofuels and responding to the United States. I heard about smart renewables and the importance of electrification. I heard about forest fire management. I heard about efficiencies, timeliness and allowing future development to occur with speed. I appreciate that those priorities of the government are being reflected in the work of the department and the agencies.
I wonder whether anybody here would like to take a crack at explaining how they see, perhaps in the future, the committee thinking about how the department will approach work as the relationship with the world continues to evolve. Also, as we start looking even more at expanding to international markets, how might that affect the work as interpreted through the estimates?
