Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to all of you for being here.
It's heartwarming to hear my Conservative colleagues talking about a clean grid and clean energy. These are important pieces for us to consider as we have this conversation.
Mr. Bradley, you've rightly identified the fact that there are provincial issues here at play and provincial jurisdictions that are responsible for the grids. If only the federal government had a magic wand to wave to create a national grid—which, of course, we don't.
One of the concerns that many have is the downstream impact on ratepayers of AI data centres and these types of new centres. Obviously, we need to be building, and we need to be thinking about that.
What is the impact of, let's say, Alberta putting a halt on renewables, putting a halt on solar and wind projects? They provide support to grids in different ways, of course, notwithstanding baseload power and so on. They are important contributors to the grid and to cost efficacy for consumers. What is the impact of pulling that stuff out of electricity production?
