We saw the European Union recognize natural gas as a green fuel in their taxonomy. They recognize\u2014which, I think, is only factual\u2014that natural gas will put less than half of the amount of carbon into the atmosphere than coal or some other technologies. Natural gas is also often necessary in an energy mix, in order to pump energy. When the wind isn't blowing for windmills or the sun isn't shining for solar, natural gas often goes hand in glove with renewables such as solar and wind.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7657133\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we're creating financial instruments, are we taking into consideration that natural gas can be part of the solution, especially given the geopolitical pressures Europe has felt, being as dependent as they are on natural gas? I hope we will support clean Canadian energy and not actively defund it.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7657130\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Une pointe d'humour pour bien commencer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7657131\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'esp\u00e8re, monsieur Youngman \u2014 monsieur Usher, vous pouvez aussi intervenir \u2014 que la transition vers la carboneutralit\u00e9 prendra peut-\u00eatre de nombreuses formes diff\u00e9rentes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7657132\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je suis tr\u00e8s optimiste au sujet de l'\u00e9nergie propre au Canada. Nous savons que l'Union europ\u00e9enne a reconnu le gaz naturel comme un carburant vert dans sa taxonomie. L'Union reconna\u00eet \u2014 et ce sont, \u00e0 mon avis, des faits av\u00e9r\u00e9s \u2014 que le gaz naturel injectera moins de la moiti\u00e9 de la quantit\u00e9 de carbone dans l'atmosph\u00e8re que le charbon ou d'autres technologies. Le gaz naturel est aussi souvent n\u00e9cessaire dans un m\u00e9lange \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique, pour pomper l'\u00e9nergie. Lorsque le vent ne souffle pas pour les \u00e9oliennes ou que le soleil ne brille pas pour l'\u00e9nergie solaire, le gaz naturel vient souvent \u00e0 la rescousse comme source d'\u00e9nergie compl\u00e9mentaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7657133\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsque nous cr\u00e9ons des instruments financiers, tenons-nous compte du fait que le gaz naturel peut faire partie de la solution, surtout compte tenu des pressions g\u00e9opolitiques que l'Europe a subies, \u00e9tant aussi d\u00e9pendante du gaz naturel? J'esp\u00e8re que nous appuierons l'\u00e9nergie propre au Canada et que nous ne la d\u00e9financerons pas aveugl\u00e9ment.</p>"
