Madam Speaker, I would like my colleague to comment on recommendation 14. Of course, I will read it. I do not want her to have to guess as to what I am talking about.
That the Government of Canada conduct a gap analysis of the incentives in place for clean technology in Canada and the United States, to study differences and understand policy gaps within the specific regional and national context to inform future policy decisions.
The recent election of Donald Trump puts us in a particularly interesting situation. Canada needs to take a strong position. Instead of reacting to Donald Trump's threats, Canada should promote its clean energy. Exporting electricity comes to mind. Producing strategic critical minerals that the Americans will need is another example that comes to mind. We also have the softwood lumber crisis and need to consider all the biomass that can be produced as a result. In short, Canadian energy policies need to be promoted in the U.S., since they could really make a difference in the North American context.
Could my colleague comment on that? How can we promote our Canadian economy given that someone like Donald Trump was elected president?
