Environment committee  I think we're on the right track. Canada is probably one of the most well-positioned countries to provide clean energy security for many countries around the world. We have the expertise in “how” through our traditional energy sector. Let's use that expertise in “how” to transiti

Environment committee  That's really interesting. There's important learning between sectors. I'll give an example. We did a hot water reclamation project for the resource sector in Alberta. There was an opportunity to take that technology and apply it to some mining applications across the province, i

Environment committee  I had something really important to say, too.

Environment committee  We do annual surveys and quarterly surveys, so we actually have a lot of that data. Data is important. It's important to know who's winning and who's doing what. I do think that making decisions and offering programs based on data is important.

Environment committee  I think it's tax incentives to attract more private capital. That would be my 10-second response. That's not easy, but....

Environment committee  For anyone to become a leader, there's usually a scenario where there's waste hydrogen. In this case, there was waste hydrogen and people were figuring out how to collect it and turn it into something valuable. That is my understanding of where the starting point of hydrogen inno

Environment committee  I thought you were going to talk about fusion and nuclear, so that's interesting. It's the same thing—infrastructure costs, and there are a few sites that have been defined that could deploy geothermal. On the rest of the research, I think Mr. Ross would probably be the most equi

Environment committee  Well, sometimes we're so focused on the here and now that we forget about the importance of adaptation and resiliency. Certainly in B.C. there have been fires and floods. I've spent some time with some different groups across Europe that are making a lot of investments in adaptat

Environment committee  An interesting perspective from someone like me, who runs an accelerator, is that I think we need to be very honest with ourselves about what type of team value proposition, business model and competitive advantage a venture has. If they do check a certain number of boxes, they w

Environment committee  I believe that supports are required. I do think that there needs to be more flexibility. There are a lot of buckets, and if there were a little bit more flexibility with fewer buckets, you might see better resolve. In Holland, there's a very similar thing. They allow each farm t

Environment committee  We have the AgriNext program. It's a national program in partnership with different associations across the country and farmers who are on the job, trying to figure out what the climate is going to look like for them. We're pulling information and looking at the ventures.

Environment committee  I'll go first. The two things definitely lean on consumer behaviour. You're absolutely right. People make what people buy. I think we are missing an opportunity to educate consumers on their buying habits and consumption. Obviously, you can't control them, but education could go

Environment committee  Sure. One example right out of the gate would be Denmark. They're usually one of the most prolific examples. They've just mandated renewables. They've mandated some reflection on future investments in projects that aren't on a pathway to net zero in infrastructure and other thing

Environment committee  Yes, it's quite a list. We engage with folks in the ecosystem in a few different buckets. One would be policy leaders. We're not a policy expert group, but we work with folks like Clean Energy Canada, Pembina and all those groups to understand what they're putting forward, which

Environment committee  Renewable energy.... Do you mean literally solar and wind? There is a broad spectrum of technologies that aren't as mature.
