Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, for the question.
As I mentioned in my opening statement, we accept the recommendations of the commissioner and welcome the analysis being done for this important evolving area of policy. The specific recommendations of the task force on coal are largely under way. My colleagues from the regional agencies have highlighted some of the areas where investments have been made and will continue to be made as we evolve towards the phase-out of coal-powered electricity.
NRCan has been highlighting some of these areas of activity through our website, where we are reporting on projects funded through the resources allocated to that end. I think it's important to highlight our overall ongoing work and our work for a net-zero economy.
As I also mentioned in my opening statement, we are now launching, with each of the provinces, a conversation that will focus our activities on areas where there are real opportunities for economic growth and development. Those areas of activity will provide ample employment opportunities over time, so this is a critical piece in our plan to evolve our economy in a way that will benefit all regions of the country and ensure that a people-centric position is taken—one that is informed by the circumstances of each region of the country, and by the opportunities those circumstances present.
