In my opinion, as the ethanol industry is not yet fully developed in Canada, there are many fewer by-products for animal feed. There is a scarcity. If we increase the rate of production, we will have more spent grain, which would reduce the cost of animal food. One of the reasons why the construction is not progressing quickly is that the by-products are not there in sufficient quantity to feed all the marketplace. In Quebec, we see that. There is a shortage of spent grain, and consumers want more. The plant is working at capacity and cannot provide all the spent grain that is needed. One of the most important elements when we look at ethanol, particularly grain-based ethanol, would be the by-products, including spent grain, and there is currently a shortage of it in Quebec.
