I want to thank you for making that point because I don't think any of us is under the illusion any longer that these are not national security matters. Our ability to have a secure grid and our ability to provide reliable power to ensure that our industries can work under extreme circumstances while looking at external pressures.... The need to have that kind of stability here at home to ensure that workers and the workforce have what is required is certainly paramount.
In that process, we all recognize that getting new power to grid, reliable power to grid, doesn't happen overnight. It takes time. It takes effort. It takes strategy. It takes commitment, and it takes work.
In the short term to medium term, what are some of the safeguards that governments—and I say governments at all levels—should be putting in place to ensure that as we are building data centres and as we are doing this work to ensure that Canada can lead globally on AI, ratepayers are not taking the downstream impact of it?
