Basically, it's more of a study. It's easy to explain. The committee did a study on electric energy. Unfortunately, Parliament was prorogued, and there was no report on that study.
In the context of the study on energy exports, we talked a lot about oil and gas. We did address the issue of energy security, perhaps in a roundabout way. The department responsible for electrification may be presenting policy directions soon.
I think it would be in our interest to look at this in six meetings, which would leave a bit of time to discuss other matters. I wanted to have specific aspects so that we could keep them in mind when we invite witnesses. That's how I see it. That would allow us to complete our study.
We've already discussed this. I even talked a bit about it with MP Claude Guay. I remember that, in the past, no one agreed to go back to testimony given during a previous study and use it to prepare a report for a future session. That is because some of the members who were on the committee during those studies are no longer members. In addition, members who were not on the committee during those studies would not want to study that. We talked initially about doing a six‑meeting study on this. We thought that was the direction we wanted to go in. I think that makes sense.
