I have to say that since coming to this job, certainly, one of the success stories that's raised with me is SDTC and some of the technologies it has developed. As well, it's a program that's jointly run by NRCan and Environment Canada, and when I was at the environment department, I used to hear about it as well.
To summarize quickly, it's an entity that's set up at arm's length to the government and is going to try to spur some of these technologies in clean energy and other areas to help drive us to the future for the kinds of things we're going to be doing in the future, such as the different energy sources that we might have—you've referred to a couple—and how we could even do existing energy sources in a cleaner, more efficient way. This is an entity that really tries to search out those projects. I think they've had a good success rate. From their tech fund, there's been a significant amount of money that's been given to innovative companies that are trying to do things differently to find cleaner and more efficient energy production methods.
In the area of biofuels, there was also a significant amount of money put in there. You'll see it in the estimates, though in some cases that industry has been slower to grow and there has been difficulty in allocating money to enough of those projects, so we've seen some reprofiling there. But overall, the tech fund that SDTC has had has really given rise to.... You've raised a couple of the examples, and there are many more across the industry, where they really are spurring innovative technologies. When I go and talk to people either around this country or outside, they really do refer to the good job that SDTC is doing to try to forge the kind of energy future we need.
