Natural Resources committee  That's correct, yes.

Natural Resources committee  That would be correct, yes.

Natural Resources committee  You go ahead.

Natural Resources committee  That's a tough question, because Canada is unique in its own right and has its own challenges climatically and geographically, etc. If you were to look from the perspective of the policy goal, and if the policy goal is to reduce your environmental footprint and change the energy paradigm in a way that enhances green energy supply, then Europe has a great model on how to accelerate that in the short term--Germany particularly.

Natural Resources committee  I thought we'd defer to the department to lead off the committee, but I'm happy to go ahead. It's up to you.

Natural Resources committee  I think we've decided how we're going to proceed.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, Mr. Chair.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair and ladies and gentlemen. I am delighted to be here with you today. Our coalition was founded approximately three years ago, in 2004. We've been around since 2004, approximately, and have continued, to date, for about three years. It's an eclectic mix of companies and representation, ladies and gentlemen.
