Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Desjarlais. Those are really important questions.
I am going to go to paragraph 3.31 and one of the criticisms in the report here:
We found that when assessing opportunities to generate hydrogen using electrolysis, Natural Resources Canada assumed a very low price of electricity across all provinces. For example, it assumed an electricity price of $40 per megawatt hour across all provinces. This was well below the recent prices observed in Canadian provinces in 2020, which ranged from $52 to $124 per megawatt hour....
It was $264 in the Muskrat Falls scenario.
This meant that the department overestimated the opportunity of electrolysis to produce hydrogen at a low cost.
Following Mr. Desjarlais, all the assumptions you're making in this report you've put forward seem like they're back end-engineered. Can you comment on that, please?
