From an economic standpoint, there is certainly a case to be made for what Mr. Simard is saying. However, for me, what matters is that at a time when we face a challenge regarding political and economic sovereignty, we find ourselves in a situation where we are becoming more dependent on the United States.
We have indeed become dependent on electricity from the United States. This is the first time this has happened in Canadian history, and it is happening at a time when the Prime Minister is aiming to decouple Canada and reduce its dependence on the United States. I'm a little surprised that this is being interpreted as a success in public policy.
