That would absolutely be my preference, and I expect it's a preference of many utilities.
We heard just last week that BC Hydro is going to continue with some natural gas and bring some generation back on. Also, just today, NB Power has asked again for that emergency application to have new natural gas generation online by 2028 lest it face blackouts, which was what inspired the title of my report.
This is extremely serious. There was that big winter storm. It taxed electricity systems. Our utilities behaved very admirably, but it's a matter of time, unless we build some more firm power, that there is a crisis. Obviously, there are many provinces...Manitoba is another one that would need some natural gas generation.
