There is no time like the present. I actually think that the timelines agreed to on May 23 in Regina by federal ministers and provincial ministers responsible for our industry are a pretty good plan. They actually had a pretty good plan, a pretty aggressive plan and timeline for getting this done, basically by consulting with industry and governments over the course of the summer, with some sort of agreement on how to proceed in early fall. I think that's a pretty aggressive timeline. We certainly support it.
We think the main elements are there in terms of what the government's saying about wanting to have production here, which means being competitive as well a creating a market with a renewable fuel standard. All those elements are there.
Ron and many others alluded to the need to coordinate provincial policy as a part of this, so it's very important that the government is consulting with the provinces. That's always a slow process, but we are very supportive when you say you are going to do something this complicated over that short a period of time. We're even more enthusiastic because it is the same approach in policy that the Liberals were talking about in their platform and it's very similar to what was in the NDP platform. We have provincial governments of every political colour participating in this process and agreeing that this is the way to proceed. Provinces and the federal government agreeing, different political parties agreeing, farmers and agribusiness agreeing--this is a rare occasion in Canadian politics.
