Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Berthier-Maskinongé for his very good speech. He talked about subsidies. We spend billions of dollars on fossil fuel subsidies. We know full well that other countries are in the process of making investments and building networks for clean energy such as electricity grids. I am thinking in particular of the grid that links Scandinavian countries to Germany. This Nordic grid allows the export of clean energy. In the United States market, for example, states and cities are increasingly demanding that they be supplied only with clean energy. The market is incredible and the potential is there. Does my colleague agree that we really need to make investments to create an electricity grid that allows us to export energy throughout North America?
