On that note, Ms. Brazeau, I offer my congratulations to Équiterre on its 30th anniversary. It's amazing how quickly time flies.
My first questions have to do with the Canada Growth Fund and investments in the green economy, namely the $80 billion to support the energy transition announced in the last budget in response to the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act.
I had asked a question of the department on March 30, and we received a reply on May 2 with a breakdown of sorts of the $80 billion amount. We learned that there was $12.5 billion for carbon capture, $17.7 billion for hydrogen production and $25.7 billion for electricity, which includes nuclear, including small power plants and modular reactors.
How do you react to this?
Before hearing your response, I'd like to remind you that, in Bill C-47, the transfer or disbursement of this $80 billion will not happen all at once. First and foremost, two institutions will be created to administer the sums the government plans to invest. As a result, these sums will no longer be under the control of parliament. We, the members of Parliament, the legislators, will no longer be able to vote on these sums.
I'd like to hear what you think about all this.
