Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's a very fascinating discussion. The difference between the witnesses we have is really interesting. We have the hydrogen side and then we have the renewable natural gas side.
I want to play a bit of the devil's advocate here. I'll ask Mr. Kirby and Mr. Egan and then I'll smile for my comment.
I'll ask the real tough question. Where do we go from here? We're hearing from hydrogen that they want to get to net zero by 2050 and that's the only way. We hear from the renewable fuels and certainly biofuels that they are a solution, that we need to continue down this road and it's an advantage for Canada that we have it.
Canada is an energy superpower. We are. I've heard from many around the world. They're looking at us as we develop this technology. We heard from Ms. Quan as to what's going on on the SME side.
Again, the panel we have here is really interesting when we're looking at the future and, as a government, asking what the benefits are. We need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as we heard from our colleagues, but what are the costs of doing this? How is this going to affect everyday Canadians at the same time?
Mr. Kirby, I'd like to hear from you. I'll ask you the tough question. What is the role of renewable natural gas? What is the role of hydrogen as we move to 2030 targets and as we move to 2050 targets?
Mr. Egan, I will ask you the same question.
