Environment committee  Municipalities have very clear rules to follow. They must respect the hierarchy of the 3R-RD principle, a principle that they need to implement. Municipalities thus cannot decide to simply do as they please, which is a very good thing. For our part, we wholeheartedly agree with t

Environment committee  It deals with the capital cost allowance tax incentive.

Environment committee  Yes. The first recommendation deals with the commercialization of innovations. We can't just stimulate innovation, we also have to commercialize it in order to create wealth and jobs.

Environment committee  That is a good question. Recycling and composting can cover up to 60% of waste economically, but municipalities have not found a solution for the remaining 40% of waste. We can deal with 30% of the waste and thereby reach a percentage of 90%. This waste may be textiles, leftove

Environment committee  If we want this industry to flourish, we have to make sure that the rules are fair. It is only through a price on carbon that businesses will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the current environment, that is a very difficult thing to do.

Environment committee  Yes. This one was more about provincial regulations. They are provinces that are basically imposing the same environmental permitting process to waste conversion processes that are not combustion, that are not incinerators. But because they use heat, they fall under the same kind

Environment committee  No, it's provincial, but I wanted to raise that issue.

Environment committee  Our standard module is based on 100,000 dry tonnes per year. In the case of the City of Edmonton, for example, they already have achieved a 60% waste diversion rate, so we will be able to increase that 60% to 90%. You don't need such a large city, but a metropolitan centre of thi

Environment committee  The ask is that we include also equipment, renewable energy equipment, for biofuels. Currently, when we look at the list of eligible equipment, there is biogas included, waste to gas, but there is no waste to biofuels. We believe that we should also have access to this incentive

Environment committee  The gasification process is a process that allows the breaking down of solid material into a gas, which is composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. There's not enough oxygen to burn it, so we don't produce CO2. We produce CO. That's really key. It's what we call partial oxidati

Environment committee  This was for provincial governments.

Environment committee  Exactly. It's accelerated depreciation. Also, at one point in this there's a flow-through share. This is, I think, 43.2. The ask is really to be included in the eligible renewable energy equipment.

Environment committee  As we explained, it's not as much on the profitability side. What is key here is that when investors decided to invest in our company, there was an operating incentive available to us, the eco-energy for biofuels initiative, but we ended up not having access to it because of the

Environment committee  You talked about lending organizations. I just want to mention that in the case of a new company with a new technology, you don't even have those organizations. If you're a mature organization and you're doing an innovation, then that's different. You also have those supporting l

Environment committee  It's critical. If you look at second-generation biofuels, those are really breakthrough technologies that are being developed as we speak. Without the support of government to really have the policies in place to attract private investment, it wouldn't be possible to take those
