The university, Alberta and Canada benefit from your knowledge, as we benefit from the knowledge of all of our witnesses today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9377500\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Canada has many grids. Canada has many energy clusters. It is a north-south continent, and integrations are often north-south rather than east-west. That's true of gas, oil and electricity. In some ways, that makes a great deal of sense. Geography and market size push us that way; they push us south. Economics drive us that way. There is easier terrain, and there are better customer bases in the sense that they're bigger customer bases. This study is looking at both energy security and opportunities in electricity at the same time, I think in part because we know our energy future is an electricity future.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9377501\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Professor Schaffer and Professor Pineau, you both talked about flexible demand and interprovincial ties, and you underlined that these are not just technical challenges. I think about my home jurisdiction of Alberta and how very different the market design is between Alberta and B.C. in particular. Could you both expand on some of the considerations or hurdles for interprovincial interties\u2014and maybe not even just interties, because that's a physical thing, but also the trading of electricity between markets, technical and otherwise?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9377502\" data-originallang=\"en\">Maybe we can start with you, Mr. Schaffer.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"9377497\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9377498\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci \u00e0 tous nos t\u00e9moins d'aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9377499\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Schaffer, je suis heureux de vous revoir, vous qui \u00eates un de mes anciens coll\u00e8gues \u00e0 l'Universit\u00e9 de Calgary. L'universit\u00e9, l'Alberta et le Canada b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient de votre savoir, tout comme nous b\u00e9n\u00e9ficions du savoir de tous nos t\u00e9moins d'aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9377500\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Canada compte de nombreux r\u00e9seaux \u00e9lectriques et de nombreuses grappes \u00e9nerg\u00e9tiques. C'est un continent nord-sud; souvent, l'int\u00e9gration se fait du nord au sud et non d'est en ouest. C'est vrai pour le gaz, le p\u00e9trole et l'\u00e9lectricit\u00e9, ce qui est tout \u00e0 fait logique, d'une certaine fa\u00e7on. Nous sommes pouss\u00e9s dans cette direction, vers le sud, en raison de la g\u00e9ographie et de la taille du march\u00e9. C'est li\u00e9 \u00e0 des facteurs \u00e9conomiques. Le terrain est plus facile et il y a une meilleure client\u00e8le, ou plut\u00f4t une plus importante client\u00e8le. Cette \u00e9tude porte \u00e0 la fois sur la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique et les possibilit\u00e9s dans le secteur de l'\u00e9lectricit\u00e9, notamment parce que nous savons que notre avenir \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique passe par l'\u00e9lectrification. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9377501\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Schaffer et monsieur Pineau, vous avez tous deux parl\u00e9 de la souplesse de la demande et des interconnexions interprovinciales, et soulign\u00e9 qu'il ne s'agit pas seulement de d\u00e9fis techniques. Je pense \u00e0 ma province natale, l'Alberta, et \u00e0 l'importante diff\u00e9rence entre la conception du march\u00e9 de l'Alberta et celle de la Colombie-Britannique en particulier. Pourriez-vous tous les deux parler davantage des consid\u00e9rations ou obstacles li\u00e9s aux interconnexions interprovinciales, et peut-\u00eatre pas seulement aux interconnexions, qui sont un aspect physique, mais aussi par rapport au commerce d'\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 entre les march\u00e9s, qu'ils soient d'ordre technique ou autre?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9377502\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous pourrions commencer par vous, monsieur Schaffer.</p>"
