Generally, I don't like to see passing the hat among the taxpayers to help out any particular sector, if they can't make it on their own. However, I'm not against giving some kind of help to get started.
I guess what I would like to have seen is this kind of assistance given to the development of the biofuels industry, but without a mandate, because it forces this becoming the first use of that feed. The feed has to go for that, because Shell Canada and all the other oil companies must have this 5%; that comes first.
If they were just producing ethanol because the Canadian consumers wanted it and there was a market for it at the price at which they could produce it, and we were to give them a little help to get started, I have nothing against that. But this could become a continuing source of subsidy and certainly a distortion in the economy, when there's this mandate.
