Just for clarity here, COSIA is a strategic planning organization for the environment. What we are doing here is we are saying that we want the minister to accelerate environmental performance.
We are going to put together that road map on how we want to get there. It's actually the companies that are involved in COSIA that are spending the R and D and spending extensive dollars on innovation. For example, Suncor, one of our firms, is investing $1.2 billion to construct infrastructure to move toward avoidance of tailings ponds in the future. So there will be considerable dollars spent by the companies on innovation.
Who benefits? We've looked at all of the companies, who they are involved with and the like, and we can work and find expert solutions across our nation and internationally. In fact, my own firm is working with different universities and a company in Quebec on GHG mitigation advancements. There is no monopoly on best ideas here locally. We really are looking at tapping into the best ideas across Canada and globally. In my mind, that's who benefits.
