Thank you, Mr. Chair.
When I was put on the natural resources committee, my first thought was that I hoped we talked about hydrogen. Lo and behold, on day one, we're talking about hydrogen. I am very excited about the possibilities around that, and about having witnesses here from the east coast specializing in green hydrogen and from western Canada specializing in blue hydrogen.
I will note that I think it's unfortunate that we don't have anybody from the critical minerals industry in Ontario or the nuclear industry who can speak to that white-type of hydrogen produced by radiolysis, which we have both in the reactors and deep inside the earth. Hopefully, we can get some submissions written in that regard.
With that, Mr. Estabrook, you did a great job summarizing some of the potential uses of hydrogen in industry. In terms of the pathways to net zero, we know heavy-duty vehicles and airplanes are going to be some of the hardest to decarbonize and move forward on, so there is a lot of opportunity there.
I am really hoping you can speak, big picture, to the opportunities we have for green hydrogen in Nova Scotia and throughout the Atlantic region in particular alongside the wind west project.
