Mr. Simard, you're referring to Énergie Saguenay and the Gazoduq projects. They are currently undergoing a federal assessment by the Impact Assessment Agency, which will do a fair and thorough job based on science, based on evidence and based on indigenous traditional knowledge. Once we have all the necessary information and analysis, we'll make a decision on the projects then. It would be premature for me to say anything other than to acknowledge that there are some cases where LNG may prove to be a bridge fuel in allowing us to lower emissions now.
I said in Berlin, at a conference I attended last Tuesday with John Kerry, the climate envoy to the President, that there are.... People talk about the perfect getting in the way of the good. I want the perfect and I want the good. I want it all. I want every project, and I will look at anything that will lower emissions now, in the medium term and in the long term.
I will look at everything, and I will analyze every one of those projects with, as I said, that threefold mission: lower emissions, with net zero by 2050; an economy that continues to prosper and create jobs; and a future that leaves no one behind—no province, no region, not energy workers.
