Mr. Speaker, I am glad to have the question from the hon. member for Cypress Hills—Grasslands.
Let us be clear: When they are fracking, they are fracturing the bedrock for natural gas and they are actually fracking the gas, vast amounts of methane are released. However, there are transferrable skills. People who drilled wells for oil can drill wells for geothermal, and that is what happened here. This is a huge find. It is really important to recognize that actually 10% of all the abandoned wells through Saskatchewan and Alberta have potential to be tapped for geothermal.
Let us look at the opportunities transitioning away from fossil fuels and into renewables. Geothermal has huge potential, and those wells at depth, 10% of them that are already abandoned and are a liability on the books of Saskatchewan and Alberta, actually have potential to produce green electricity, and we support green electricity. We do not support fracking.
