Merci beaucoup.
I have a few questions I want to raise.
We were talking about biofuels and the concern about the negativity that might have on the livestock industry. I'm a cattle producer, so I have some of the same concerns on ethanol. I don't have it so much on biodiesel. I see biodiesel as a win-win. It's producing a feed product, more protein meal for the livestock sector, and it really enhances soybean prices and canola prices.
There is this whole issue of ethanol, instead of being corn- or wheat-based, going to cellulose. I look around the Maritimes and I see there's a lot of biomass out here, a lot of fibre that can be used for cellulose production. Has there been any research taking place on that? Will that also provide some easement on some of the gas prices in the area? Even though we have a lot of oil offshore here, there still seems to be a lot of foreign oil coming to this part of the country.
