Mr. Chair, as I mentioned, the geopolitics have certainly changed in Europe, obviously, as a result of the aggression of Russia in Ukraine, and that has really brought to the fore the geopolitics of energy.
Our partners are looking to Canada to continue to be a significant energy supplier and are looking at various means by which that could take place. We've talked very briefly about the arrangements that we have in place with such key partners as Germany. Just to expand on that a bit, we had the degree of interest of having the chancellor visit Canada in order to reinforce the relationship in a number of ways, and hydrogen was a very significant part of that conversation. We've seen that one of the outcomes of that was an MOU that was signed with the German government.
We also have ongoing conversations with the European Union generally and with other members of the European Union around energy. Hydrogen for the Europeans is an avenue that they are actively pursuing. That's in terms of the application of the technologies but also looking at sources, and Canada has real potential with respect to that as a possible reliable exporter in a world where the geopolitics are complicated.
