Absolutely. I think a national electricity strategy is vital. When we're thinking about energy exports, as I've mentioned, the domestic electricity system is absolutely vital from a competitiveness perspective. I think there are three specific pieces that an electricity strategy really needs to speak to.
One is around interties. Canada needs to clarify the federal process around the ability to fund, the ability to help share benefits and the ability to support inter-regional planning. That's going to be a vital piece of it.
The second is being able to make investments to support local grids—smart technologies and distributed energy resources, and their integration into grids. We need to modernize even as we build new generation.
The third piece, as I mentioned, is providing some coordination between our trade, energy and economic policies. The ability to provide a clear signal is going to enable greater investment into the electricity sector in Canada.
