Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It’s very short, gentlemen—two and a half minutes. So I’ll be very brief.
As politicians, we’re often called upon regarding economic projects and industrial development projects. The problem is always the same: who will succeed in securing an energy block. We know that without an energy block, it’s partly a peak-load management issue, and that’s often the case for Hydro-Québec. As Mr. Pineau said, it may also be due to poor energy efficiency management.
I know we won’t fully resolve this issue. However, how can we in Quebec develop practices that are more conducive to getting economic projects off the ground?
Mr. Guay and I—I’ll be brief—met earlier with representatives from a company that offers a peak management battery strategy. However, there must be other methods, other ways of doing things.
How can we support our industrial sector by giving it access to energy blocks?
