Mr. Chair, the member is quite right that work on the clean fuel standard is led by our colleagues at Environment and Climate Change Canada, but our department is actively collaborating and working with them on it.
Your question reminds me of something I perhaps should have mentioned at the outset, namely, that the bioeconomy is an important part of our efforts on climate change. Not only is it an important opportunity from an environmental standpoint, but also economically. The most recent data from Statistics Canada suggests that the non-traditional bioeconomy, both forestry and feedstock-based agriculture is a $4.3-million industry in Canada and employs thousands of people. Some of that will be biofuels, but of course there are bioproducts, there are car parts, any number of products, usually made from petrochemicals, that can now be made out of renewable feedstocks.
