Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I've got a couple of questions I'd like comments on. Mr. Row, you hit on it when you started to talk about “regional”. When we start formulating a national policy about this, it seems like it starts in the west, and then there's the question of scale. I'm from eastern Canada, and when you start talking about these products based on agricultural products and things, we'd have to pretty well clear all our land to even have anything close to being the size and scale that it would take to get an economical ethanol plant. I understand that we're talking about somewhere in the area of 200 million to 300 million litres as the kind of target now for an economical plant.
So maybe you could share with me how some of the other smaller centres, whether they be in the U.S. or in other places in Canada, benefit economically when you consider transportation. That's the only thing you can do--transport it somewhere else when it's done--and then it's not economical any more. So how would a small centre be able to benefit from a renewable fuel strategy like this?
