You talked about incentives, mainly around infrastructure around renewable energy. I have a big question, which I'm sure you understand affects a lot of Canadians. It is about the term \u201caffordability\u201d. We've heard the term many times before when talking about the taxpayer not wanting to subsidize certain sectors and certain industries. We've certainly heard that around the natural resource side of things. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6827389\" data-originallang=\"en\">When do you see renewables becoming self-sufficient to the point they don't need a big government subsidy, either via insurance or for purchasing the vehicle or by providing funds for infrastructure? When do you see our getting to the tipping point where the taxpayer isn't paying the bill? </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6827387\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous remercie, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident. Je remercie \u00e9galement nos invit\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6827388\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'ai qu'une question, monsieur Romano. Vous avez parl\u00e9 des incitatifs, principalement autour des infrastructures d'\u00e9nergie renouvelable. J'ai une question importante qui \u2014 je suis s\u00fbr que vous comprenez \u2014 touche un grand nombre de Canadiens. Cette question concerne le terme \u00ab abordabilit\u00e9 \u00bb, que nous avons souvent entendu quand on dit que le contribuable ne veut pas subventionner certains secteurs et certaines industries. Nous avons certainement entendu ce terme pour l'industrie des ressources naturelles. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6827389\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand pensez-vous que les \u00e9nergies renouvelables seront autosuffisantes au point de ne pas avoir besoin de grosses subventions gouvernementales, que ce soit sous la forme d'assurance, d'incitatifs \u00e0 l'achat de v\u00e9hicules ou de financement des infrastructures? \u00c0 partir de quand pr\u00e9voyez-vous que le contribuable n'aura plus \u00e0 payer la facture? </p>"
