Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Mousseau, I want to follow up on something you said in your presentation.
You flagged an inconsistency in Bill C-49, the fact that renewable energy projects and oil projects are treated the same way. I think that's an important point for the analysts to note in light of the answer Minister O'Regan gave the committee when he was here last week. As I understood it, he said that the government didn't have a genuine desire to draw a distinction between the two. That is, however, an essential step to achieve the energy transition.
That is a political matter, so I'm not looking for you to weigh in. Instead, I'd like to talk about the second part of your presentation. I'd say you are surprisingly adept at taking the wind out of the sails of certain politicians, who occasionally talk about energy without really understanding the situation.
What you said earlier about wind energy, electricity and the use of clean electricity to produce hydrogen suggests that certain types of modelling may not have been done already.
Are the government's aspirations to supply hydrogen to Germany achievable in the short-to-medium term?
