Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to build on something that Mr. Fillmore has alluded to. Obviously, this project, in its agreement in principle, looks extremely promising in what it might be able to achieve.
The Ontario Minister of Energy, the Honourable Greg Rickford, a former colleague of many of our Conservative colleagues here on this committee, said when he heard the announcement of the agreement in principle:
The Lake Erie connector demonstrates the advantages of public-private partnerships to develop critical infrastructure that delivers greater value to Ontarians. Connecting Ontario's electricity grid to the PJM electricity market will bring significant, tangible benefits to our province. This new connection will create high-quality jobs, improve system flexibility, and allow Ontario to export more excess electricity to promote cost-savings for Ontario's electricity consumers.
Minister Rickford was obviously extremely enthusiastic and I think any possibility of producing unredacted documents relating to this deal could put the whole deal in great jeopardy, and I would think that this would be most unfortunate for all concerned.
I just want to bring that to the attention of our Conservative colleagues.
