I'm standing between everybody and the end of this round, Mr. Chair, but thank you for the opportunity.
Thank you to all the witnesses, and to you, Chief Sunshine, on the call. I appreciate your time this evening.
I'd like to start with you, Mr. Schumann, if I may.
At the outset, in your opening remarks you highlighted many of the large-scale projects that your members have worked on in my province of British Columbia and drew attention to the scale of development and the scale of major projects that we've been seeing in the west over recent years, so thanks to you and your members for your hard work in bringing those projects to fruition.
In that vein, the second part of Bill C-5, the building Canada act, identifies different factors that would be used to guide the determination of projects that would be listed in schedule 1, one of which is contributing to clean growth and meeting Canada's objectives with respect to climate change.
I wonder if, in your view, that commitment to try to support cleaner, more sustainable kinds of economic projects would be a useful way of helping to facilitate some of your members' transition into the clean energy economy and out of some of the more traditional, conventional energy projects that they may have worked on in the past.
