Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Ms. Buth and gentlemen, for being here.

I'll be splitting my time, Mr. Chair, with my distinguished colleague for Huron—Bruce.

I have a couple of points for you, Ms. Buth.

In wind energy and solar energy, we are behind the Europeans for sure. You make the same point with respect to the use of canola biodiesel, which I understand is being used extensively in Europe. Can you quantify how far behind Europe we are and how the gap will be narrowed if Bill C-33 is passed?
