Natural Resources committee  My colleagues said it all very well, but remember that it's not just the oil sands, but the aerospace industry and the pharmaceutical industry. These were all heavily invested in by the government and have led us to where we are today as leaders. That's what we need to do in the

Natural Resources committee  That's correct. It's not in place.

Natural Resources committee  In electricity we probably need to roughly double the size of the grid in Canada to meet our net zero, and there is lots of opportunity for jobs and creation there. In terms of hydrogen and the opportunities for hydrogen, in particular green hydrogen, to be an energy source, inf

Natural Resources committee  That's a great question. I think it's moving forward with all aspects of the different climate policies, whether it's zero-emission vehicle mandates for electric vehicles, which is going to drive people towards electric vehicles and help support electric vehicle production in Ca

Natural Resources committee  The positive thing is that when we modelled out how many jobs there would be in the clean energy sector if we followed through on the climate commitments that we had a year ago, we found that there would be a growth of 208,000 jobs. That's a 50% growth. At the same time, there wo

Natural Resources committee  As you've said, there are many skill sets that cross over directly from the existing fossil fuel sector to the clean energy sector. We need to invest to get that clean energy sector up and going, whether its with electricity, green hydrogen or battery production. We're seeing o

Natural Resources committee  Are you asking about balance in terms of where we should invest, where we should prioritize?

Natural Resources committee  I talked about the IEA future demand scenarios if countries move forward. My colleagues also mentioned the 136 countries, representing 90% of the world's GDP, that have committed to net-zero goals. Combined with the cost declines we see in renewables like solar and wind, as well

Natural Resources committee  Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and members of the committee. I'm a fellow at Simon Fraser University and the executive director at Clean Energy Canada, which is a climate and energy think tank at SFU. Today, I want to share three recommendations for implementing this oil and gas sec
