Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ministers, I'll be honest with you. I think you already know this. When studying a bill, the Bloc Québécois likes to make sure that the jurisdictions of the provinces and Quebec are respected.
There's a concern about Bill C‑26. Electricity Canada officials told the committee about this concern. Bill C‑26 includes interprovincial and international power line networks in its list of critical systems. We can read between the lines that an organization such as Hydro‑Québec could be affected by this bill. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The Electricity Canada officials said that they would like to see the bill amended to avoid duplication, overlap or redundancy with the jurisdictions of the provincial agencies already involved.
For example, Hydro‑Québec, the pride of Quebeckers, could receive a financial penalty of up to $15 million for failing, for any reason, to comply with certain ministerial orders.
Is that right?
What does Bill C‑26 mean for Hydro‑Québec, for example?
