Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to thank the witnesses for their presentations, for being here and providing us with very valuable information.

I have a couple of questions. Maybe I could start with Dr. McLaughlin.

Recently, Azule Fuel Inc. in Sarnia received $1.6 million from the federal government to continue its groundbreaking work on biodiesel. Could you please explain how important funding such as this is to the agricultural sector?
