Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate Mr. Masse's position, but there is no way that we can get to net zero if in places other than the Prairies, we were to eliminate our nuclear energy, whether it was Ontario or in my part of the world, New Brunswick. The New Brunswick government, as part of their strategy to get off the Saudi Arabian oil that we're required to burn in Atlantic Canada, is looking to expand the small modular nuclear program and make that an important part of the net-zero carbon economy for the Atlantic region.
To lose the opportunity for that initiative and to lose that tool available to us for the Prairies in this bill would be going against the goal of getting our country to net zero.
