Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  If you'll allow me, I will turn to Glenn, who is the ADM in charge of this issue. Before I turn to him, I just want to remind people that there are 70 pipelines crossing the border, and there are 30 transmission lines. Our systems are totally integrated. Energy goes from south

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  You're right. There are always proponents who are presenting things differently—

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  —but I would just.... If you'll allow me, I'll ask Glenn to provide you some numbers on what exactly Line 5 provides and brings to the economy of the United States and, of course, to the people of the United States.

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  Our plan A is to make sure that the pipeline is going to continue to operate. We're not working on scenarios where it's not going to happen. We have discussions with provinces on a regular basis on what the impacts are, how that works, who is impacted by the pipeline and what exa

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  Jeff, maybe you want to answer this question.

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  As the minister said, we're quite confident that we will be able, of course, to turn and to go beyond May. The recent decision of the judge in asking for a mediator between the parties is actually very good news. As the minister said, we also are exploring all the other possibili

Natural Resources committee  It's hard for me to assess a project without seeing the details of it. I'm not in a position to answer it. If you want to send us the project, we would be pleased to look at it.

Natural Resources committee  I would not say that they exclude natural gas, because, as I mentioned before, we continue to support the natural gas industry and support the export of natural gas. We also just approved projects like the NGTL where natural gas will be used to get off coal. As we mentioned also

Natural Resources committee  If we had had a discussion 15 years ago, we would have talked about a completely different picture. As you remember, before there was shale gas and shale oil. This is a sector that is evolving quite quickly. I think there's still a market for the LNG; that's for sure. That's wha

Natural Resources committee  You're right, it feels like we're in Saguenay; I'll try to lighten up my accent, otherwise we will lose the interpreters. Thank you for your question.

Natural Resources committee  We don't choose one province over another, I want to make that clear. In terms of investing more in added value, that's something governments and industry need to work on together. We need to innovate more. You know as well as I do that forestry has long been a fairly traditiona

Natural Resources committee  Yes, we consulted experts, of course. I can refer to Ms. Johnson, who has worked on that. We believe that ideas must be built on facts, on evidence produced by science. That is what determines what's best in the end. Our goal with the hydrogen strategy is indeed to develop new m

Natural Resources committee  A lot of that is to replace coal, in many aspects. For example, China is 60% dependent on coal, so it's important they're getting.... The minister said it's practical and I think that's the point. If we want to get to net zero, we have to take full advantage of producing—

Natural Resources committee  They could be used for the production of hydrogen in Canada, for example.

Natural Resources committee  The last point I would mention is that the fuel standard was developed in consultation with and by engaging with the industry. They actually raised some of the concerns, and we'll see how some of them could be addressed and how we are going to move on with this. I would say that
