Absolutely. I think the successful side of the equation is the ethanol side of the eco-energy program. We saw plants created from scratch as a result of having strong government support, and we've seen those plants flourish in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Quebec.
Where we haven't seen the same success was on the biodiesel side of the equation. Again, we're not pointing fingers, but the program was set up and a lot of applicants put forward submissions and they were granted, but shovels never got into the ground. That's unfortunate. I think a couple of factors influenced that. The first was the global recession. Let's be clear that people who had great ideas prior to the global recession saw their capital tighten significantly.
Two years ago we had been seeking changes to that program so when projects stopped moving forward, the capital that had been directed toward those facilities could be redirected within the program. The Minister of Natural Resources at the time chose not to follow that course of action, but as a result, we are in a situation right now where we could have seen more biofuels expansion.
