Mr. Speaker, Canada was the first country in the world to ban traditional coal-fired electricity.
I want to share with hon. members an example of what we are doing to support the global community in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. One financing project that is under way is the solar plant in Uruguay. Once completed, the solar plant is expected to eliminate approximately 18,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year. The solar plant is also expected to supply the Uruguay national grid with an average of 96,000 megawatts per year.
This is another example of our support for the global community in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
