Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee I think we need to find the right incentive for the market to actually play the role that we expect it will play. If you look at the climate change plan, it's basically what we're trying to do. When you look at the clean fuels, when you're thinking about CCUS in the U.S. and here

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee If I can respond first, on our side, as you have noticed, we have a hydrogen strategy that just was released, which is in some ways a plan for how we will actually capitalize on the potential of hydrogen for the future. We have an action plan for SMR that was also launched in Dec

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee I think so. I think you're right that there's been a significant.... People forget to mention sometimes how big it is. Even 10 or 20 years ago we were talking about the fact that there was not enough oil and gas. Suddenly, we end up in a surplus world where everybody is producing

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee We must ensure that all modes of transportation are safe. The horrible and unfortunate Mégantic tragedy should never have happened. We must ensure that all modes of transportation are safe. What I can say is that, generally speaking, everyone prefers a pipeline to a train to tra

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee I don't have such an analysis. I think it's too early for us to have all the details around this. I will remind people that even in the context of softwood lumber, for example, our exportations are very high these days, despite, as you know, the duties from the U.S. On our re

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee Everything has urgency, so, yes, there is urgency to establish a relationship with the U.S., with the new stable administration. That's why it was so important for the ministers to have the first call with the secretary, and that's what happened. It was important for the two lead

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee I don't have numbers today to present to you or to share with you; that's true.

Jean-François Tremblay
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee I think the threat should nevertheless be taken seriously. When the governor of a U.S. state says she wants to shut down a pipeline, you have to take it seriously. We also find ourselves with three cases before the courts. So it's serious. It's very difficult to assess job losse

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee As a former deputy minister of transport, I can say that all modes of transportation must be safe, and they are. All measures must be taken to ensure that they are. That said, let's be honest, a pipeline is much more efficient. It doesn't emit greenhouse gases and it doesn't clo

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee It is little used, except in small residences in the forest—I experienced this in my youth. You're right that propane is not widely used in Quebec or Canada, but it is used. It should not be neglected. In Michigan, it is used much more than in some other states.

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee As the minister said, the pipeline generates and feeds an economy with well over 1,000 employees. Tens of thousands of people work at the Detroit and Toronto airports. So this is certainly very important.

Jean-François Tremblay
Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee We're looking at all the tools we have in the tool kit. It's true. I think the best solution remains an agreement between Enbridge and the state. One thing that is interesting is that we never heard the governor saying that she doesn't want the pipeline. She wants a pipeline wi

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee It's important that we have the same standards in the way the car industry is developing the electric vehicles. It's important so that we can charge our vehicles on both sides of the border, that we have the capacity to do that. It is also important, in an economy that is so inte
