Thank you very much, gentlemen, for being here.
On a personal note, I find this quite exciting, and I'd like to have a chance to visit one of these plants if the opportunity ever arises.
My questions will be at two levels. One is a general philosophical question and a couple are specific questions.
Should we--and it's interesting coming from me--be looking at the American model? Should our government be looking and working closely with those in the American government to really see what the differences are between the way we do things and the way they do things? Obviously there are models that work; there's no need for us to reinvent the wheel. In other words, should we be in close consultation, coming up with ideas and then trying to implement them as far as the government goes? That's the first question.
The other general question is on this whole debate about fossil fuel energy and subsidies. Should we be doing a gradual shift of subsidies in our energy sector from fossil-fuel-based industry to the biofuels in one area?
I'll just start off with those two general questions.
