The way I would put it is that Canada should be doing everything it can to maximize the share of new energy demand that it uses renewables, battery storage and other clean sources to meet. That will allow us to be more secure when it comes to building a wind turbine, when it comes to solar power and when it comes to hydro. Those are resources that are accessible here. Those aren't reliant on any global supply chain for the actual power generation aspect. This is a key difference between the clean and conventional supply chains. For conventional, you need the constant import of fuel. When it comes to clean, once the technology is there, it stands for 20 years.
It's not a question of outright removal of every last bit. Natural gas will remain a player in our electricity system, especially in different regions, increasingly in a backup role, but we really want to take advantage of low-cost clean options that can lower electricity bills for Canadians as much as possible.
